"If only we understood the roots of human behaviour" @RobertGreene
in Laws of Human Nature

Do you think we would have more protection? Against falling down or being plowed over?

An interesting argument to understand our human nature before we as a race struggle to communicate

Such an important note this.
By arguing, lecturing or cajoling people, you further resistance to your ideas.

"Rightness of your argument."

Can a phrase blow you away. This one did.

I'm right, is something I fall victim to often. A trap, a ego pleaser, as @RobertGreene says "pleasure principle in thinking."

Powerful note on interpersonal relationships are tarnished for life because of unhealed childhood trauma.

When one difficult sibling is prioritised, or children suffer from an unstable marriage of parents.

@RobertGreene on what drives our irrational reactions

"Being able to tame the Emotional Self leads to an overall calmness & clarity."
@RobertGreene in The Laws of Human Nature.

Not an easy ask, but definitely something to ponder over.

Narcissism stems from our earliest influences.

A compelling argument why both introverts & extroverts can be narcissistic but it really shows it's ugly head in the mid 20s.

A narcissist is an "expert in using people."

As leaders they're controlling, as spouses they're abusive, self absorbed & generally have low self esteem.

To surface from failures, they reach for constant attention & validation.

How many people around us are like this?

How easy is it to "cut off your incessant interior monologue?"

In establishing an empathetic state you must let go of all bias & pay attention to others. Letting go of judgement, is something I struggle daily with.

A deep narcissist never realises this.
You think this applies?

More & more I see people around me, paying attention to me.

It's sad, that few notice you when you've little to give but suddenly a position gives you more credibility.

I'd rather build relationships of respect. Where I try to understand you, where you try & test my values.

I often wonder, if there was no transactional element to my life, how many or few people would connect with me.

So few read, and fewer like to read threads on self help or entrepreneurship books.

Our lived reality is such a telling reflection on us & the society we live in...
