Transcript

Okay. We can learn this. Also, super quick plug, I released the website. It's called unprompted.cool. It's free for everybody. I personally yes worse to make it. It was super easy. It took me, like, thirty minutes. Back to the video. Starting timer no. According to numerous psychological studies, we are more wise and reasonable when we are solving other people's problems rather than our own. This is known as Solomon's paradox, and it happens for one main reason. We view our problems as categorically different than other people's problems. This is mainly due to our ego and sense of identity. We protect our problems with our sense of pride, identity, and emotions. And I think what's so fascinating about looking into Solomon's paradox and researching it is this applies to any area of our lives. It applies to our passions, careers, hobbies, interests, and relationships. It applies when things are going well and things are going poorly. And we will always be beholden to our ego unless we do what the great better Rank best. And this is self transcendence. We need to transcend send the self and be able to work towards something greater no as to silence the ego, dissolve the ego, and make sure that we are serving others and not just ourselves.
