Introspection is NOT As Important As You Think (In fact, it can be harmful) (Part 2)

from What We Should Have Learned in School with Amy Leo · host AMY LEO

Today we explore just one of many studies conducted by people like Anthony M. Grant, Tasha Eurich, Tim Wilson, and Emily Pronin, which points to the fact that introspection is not the act of tapping into our deepest selves, rather it is a fabrication, a grand lie constructed by our brains in order to keep the story (it previously created) of "who we are" consistent. Tune in to see what you can do instead of engaging in traditional introspection and asking "Why?". More info: www.amyleo.com --- Sources P. Johansson et. al.
