In honor of Dr. Aaron Beck's 100th birthday, Dr. Augustus John Rush shared the following list of ten lessons he learned from his mentor, colleague, friend, and "scientific and professional hero":
1. Be forever curious. Never assume you have the answer. Learn by asking questions.
2. Challenge conventional wisdom. Just because a lot of people believe it, does not make it true.
3. Get the evidence. Opinion is cheap.
4. Listen to the patient, not just the theory.
5. Consider multiple perspectives. More than one could be true.
6. Collaborate. Everyone can be a teacher.
7. Think carefully, not superficially.
8. Share the spotlight.
9. As a mentor, share your humanity.
10. Invest in others' careers
