Season 2, Ep 23 Are crabs keeping you down?

This week Phil and Jason talk about having crabs...or more precisely, the crab mentality! It is also known as crab theory or crabs in a bucket (also barrel, basket, or pot) mentality, is a way of thinking best described by the phrase "if I can't have it, neither can you". The metaphor is derived from a pattern of behavior noted in crabs when they are trapped in a bucket. While any one crab could easily escape, its efforts will be undermined by others, ensuring the group's collective demise. The analogy in human behavior is claimed to be that members of a group will attempt to reduce the self-confidence of any member who achieves success beyond the others, out of envy, resentment, spite, conspiracy, or competitive feelings, to halt their progress. Does this sound familiar in your experience? How do you deal with it? Join Phil and Jason to learn how to overcome this common behavior so you can accomplish your goals!
