Research seems to suggest that psilocybin (the drug that makes magic mushrooms "magic") permanently increases open-mindedness [1][2], so that's one "easy" way to do it. There's also a lot you can do consciously in daily life. By deciding to be more open-minded through constantly working to really understand why the people you disagree with (no matter if it's serious topics like religion, politics, morals, ideology or more trivial topics like tastes and interests) think the way they do it's almost impossible to not end up more open-minded.
