From the author: The other day, I read an interesting article. In it, the consultant clearly and in detail explained how to correctly write articles on practical psychology. At the same time, the very starting point for the concept of “right” is based on ratings and financial returns. The consultant suggested using a number of manipulations that promised readers quick and easy results. The article was received with a bang by the audience, and I wondered how it is that you give people magic strategies and a wizard who will teach them this strategy. Still, we still can’t see the “field of fools” or are completely different mechanisms at work here? Just the other day, I read an interesting article. In it, the consultant clearly and in detail explained how to correctly write articles on practical psychology. At the same time, the very starting point for the concept of “right” is based on ratings and financial returns. The consultant suggested using a number of manipulations that promised readers quick and easy results. The article was received with a bang by the audience, and I wondered how it is that people are given magic strategies and a wizard who will teach them this strategy. Still, we still can’t see the “field of fools” or are completely different mechanisms at work here? In order not to turn into a boring grumbler, I decided to take this issue seriously and started researching the topic. The result turned out to be quite simple: the desire to do less and get more is the main tool of human progress. The thinking formula in this case is as follows: maximum Effect - minimum Cost = Benefit. Indeed, it is precisely guided by this principle of minimum expenditure of resources and maximum benefit that we have become the dominant species on planet Earth. I will give the simplest example, although it may be unexpected for you. You have all seen sidewalks and lawns in our yards, and along with them you have seen paths trodden by residents. These paths are the easiest way to demonstrate our desire to find the shortest path from point A to point B. In this case, naturally, we spend less energy. By the way, I heard somewhere that in Europe they first watch how people walk, and then pave their paths. Although the principle of Benefit is total in nature, it has made us invincible. Invincible, until such a thing as marketing actually appeared, which this mechanism began to use against us. And so the Internet was full of headlines: “How to lose weight in three days”, “How to find a rich husband in seven steps”, “How to save a marriage in two accounts" etc. etc.. Wanting to get results with minimal effort is not a bad thing. But often this goes against the natural flows of nature. After all, it was these aspirations that forced us to block rivers, cut down forests, build reinforced concrete jungles and pollute the planet. This desire has grown from a survival mechanism into a mechanism of self-destruction. And strangely enough, it will also lead us to the right path. To do this, our desire for profit must become more environmentally friendly. I encourage people to be the same environmentally friendly in relation to their personal growth. Stop entertaining the idiotic idea of ​​“three-step” enlightenment. No matter how much we rush a woman, she will give birth in exactly nine months. Attempts to speed up this process will always lead to disastrous results. This is the rhythm of Life, and the rhythm of our soul is subject to it. Accelerate the germination of crops, increase calving and the amount of milk, but give time to your soul, since accelerating its transformations only leads to disappointment, impoverishment, manipulation and robotization. If you want changes in your relationship with your partner , with yourself, with your parents, with the world - you need to invest YOURSELF in these relationships, and not the three-step instructions of a manipulative psychologist. And investing yourself means first understanding “Who am I?”, understanding and realizing your phenomena, and then accepting. And as long as there is no acceptance in us, we do not have acceptance of others. And this, in its.
