Everyone else finds the experience of diversity as more-or-less stressful. Diversity of course applies to many things but the challenge and benefits always apply: * Social class * Books you read * TV shows * News channels * Political parties * etc. Diversity provides new sources of information to add to your ability to be creative. It also exposes you to new ideas and helps you engage with alternative perspectives which might be based on different information than you have. Alternative world views are valid but you won't know if they're right or wrong until you talk about them. Often an alternative opinion will appear wrong because you are judging it with your current information - diversification may provide new knowledge that allows you to re-examine the alternative. Generate a list of new resources to help you build knowledge about the ideas you might have written down in response to the previous chapter [Learn to be Creative](/future-proof/actions-for-future-proofing/learn-to-be-creative.md). Make a particular attempt to use material from outside your normal sources. Nobody else will have to see what you're doing, so be experimental, [take action](/future-proof/actions-for-future-proofing/taking-action.md). Try: * Visiting a news site you’re unfamiliar with (an [English language list](https://www.w3newspapers.com/newssites/)) * Searching for a new subject (especially revisit Google’s “I’m feeling lucky” [button](https://www.google.com/)); * Taking a [chance](http://prompt.theweeklyknob.com/) * Get some independent (paid for) financial advice! --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://johnkazer.gitbook.io/future-proof/actions-for-future-proofing/diversification.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
