The Backwards Law

'An in-your-face guide to living with integrity and finding happiness in sometimes-painful places.' Kirkus 'Hilarious, vulgar, and immensely thought-provoking. Only read if you're willing to set aside all excuses and take an active role in living a f*cking better life.' Steve Kamb, bestselling author of Level Up Your Life and founder of nerdfitness EVERYTHING WE'VE BEEN TOLD ABOUT HOW TO IMPROVE OUR LIVES IS WRONG. NOW SUPERSTAR BLOGGER MARK MANSON TELLS US WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO GET IT RIGHT. For decades, we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. Drawing on academic research and the life experience that comes from breaking the rules, Mark Manson is ready to explode that myth. The key to a good life, according to Manson, is the understanding that 'sometimes shit is f*cked up and we have to live with it.' Manson says that instead of trying to turn lemons into lemonade, we should learn to stomach lemons better, and stop distracting ourselves from life's inevitable disappointments chasing 'shit' like money, success and possessions. It's time to re-calibrate our values and what it means to be happy: there are only so many things we can give a f*ck about, he says, so we need to figure out which ones really matter. From the writer whose blog draws two million readers a month and filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humour, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is a welcome antidote to the 'let's-all-feel-good' mindset that has infected modern society.

Understand yourself and those around you.

#1 New York Times BestsellerOver 10 million copies soldIn this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people.For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek.There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.

Mark Manson (born 1984) is a professional blogger, entrepreneur, and former dating coach. Since 2007, he's been helping people with their emotional and relationship problems. He has worked with thousands of people from over 30 different countries. He regularly writes and updates his blog at: www.markmanson.net

Research Explains: How Can Memories Help You Cope With Loss?

Recent findings on nostalgia suggest it can be good for us, increasing our well-being, making us feel connected to other people, and giving us a sense of continuity in our lives. And it seems to come on naturally when we need to weather life’s difficulties. Rather than being a problem, nostalgia can help bring happiness and meaning to our lives.Nostalgia is more a blessing than a curse, and a winning strategy for feeling better about ourselves. It can increase our connection to others, our sense of meaning in our lives, our authenticity, and our happiness. So, why not tune into nostalgia ?

Future Usually Has A Better Foundation Lying In The Past

Usually own past experiences provide more confidence and ideas for future undertakings.

Some recent studies suggest that experiencing nostalgia about our past can make us happier and more resilient during times of stress.

Five Ways Nostalgia Can Improve Your Well-Being

Real happiness starts with telling yourself the truth, even when it hurts.No one wants to be seen as a liar . Liars are considered untrustworthy at best and immoral at worst. And yet, we are perfectly content to lie to ourselves all the time. “I’ll enjoy this sleeve of Oreos today because my diet starts tomorrow,” I might tell myself. Or, “I love my job; who cares that I complain about it constantly?” Or even—ironically—“I am always honest with myself.”

Who is a Liar?

Deceiving yourself shouldn’t make logical sense. After all, lying involves telling someone something you know to be untrue. When you are both the liar and one lied to, this means you have to both know the truth and not know the truth. In practice, that means willfully disregarding key knowledge to arrive at a conclusion that is more convenient than what the facts appear to suggest.

Everyone self-deceives, but that doesn’t make it harmless. At high levels, it is associated with poor mental health. At moderate levels, it can temporarily protect the self-deceiver from bad feelings but still presents a barrier to the deep well-being that comes from living with integrity. To be really happy, we must learn to be completely honest with ourselves.

Real happiness starts with telling yourself the truth, even when it hurts.

Quit Lying to Yourself

Imposter Syndrome is that inner voice telling you that your work is not good enough or, even worse, that you’re useless as a person.
<ul>
<li>Self-criticism can really put (and keep) us down.</li>
<li>Suffering from ‘imposter syndrome’ is common among most of us.</li>
<li>Even with those people where you least expect it, they often suffer from some form of self-criticism. </li>
<li>Creativity comes from relaxing self-evaluation and self-judgment – and the self-criticism and self-doubt that result from them.</li>
<li>Feeling like an imposter can impact one’s ability to be creative or try things.</li>
</ul>

Imposter Syndrome And Creative People

Instead of applying self-criticism, we need to actively practice the opposite: self-compassion. Self-compassion is realising that self-criticism is the enemy and then acting to reverse its negative effects. Self-compassion also helps to unlock creativity. The two components of self-compassion:<ol><li>Making a conscious effort to stop self-judgment.</li><li>Actively comforting ourselves, the same as we would do with a friend in need.</li></ol>

Replace Self-Criticism With Self-Compassion

Awareness of your inner critical voice is crucial. This then enables you to see your critical thoughts for what they are: thoughts.
Being more aware of what your brain and mind do when sensing a potential threat in the form of being judged and receiving criticism will encourage the development of a calmer part of the mind.

Recognizing The Inner Critical Voice

There are a number of so-called cognitive distortions that are relevant to the Inner Critic: <ul><li>Mental filters, or selective abstraction.</li><li>Tunnel vision.</li><li>Magnification and Minimisation or binocular trick.</li><li>Overgeneralizations</li><li>Jumping to conclusions</li><li>Mind reading or hunches.</li><li>Pessimism and catastrophizing a given situation by imagining the worst.</li><li>Emotional reasoning.</li><li>Thinking in All or Nothing terms(Black or White)</li><li>Ignoring positive aspects of a situation</li><li>Thinking everything is our own fault</li><li>Mislabeling of characterizations</li></ul>

Cognitive Distortions

The good thing about negative confirmation bias is that it can be flipped to create a positive full-filling prophecy too. 
Rather than walking around in a perpetual state of feeling that no one believes in you, you can be on the hunt for support. Take confirmation and use it as a force for good to seek out positivity rather than negativity.

Seeking Positive Confirmation

Something happens and we imagine the absolute worst. Our mind plays tricks and we start ‘awfulizing’.
To stop this:
<ul>
<li>First, on a piece of paper or in a journal, write down and answer the question: What I am afraid will happen? </li>
<li>Next, write down a response to this question: What could happen?</li>
</ul>
If we actively apply realistic optimism, looking at the facts of the situation at hand without embellishing or minimising them, we can avoid a ‘spiralling’ effect.

Awfulizing

There are a number of valuable tips to help you learn to take criticism well and use it to get better at whatever you are doing:
<ul>
<li>Breathe.</li>
<li>Detach from the situation or event mentally.</li>
<li>Listen actively.</li>
<li>Get specific demands and relevant, constructive criticism.</li>
<li>Discover new perspectives.</li>
<li>Be curious.</li>
<li>Grow.</li>
<li>Learn in real time.</li>
</ul>

Living With Criticism

Letting go of our preoccupation with the trajectory of other people’s lives, we can transform our envy from a stagnant, blocking force into a powerful motivator for growth. The tools and ideas above help us reframe our self-criticism; seeing critical thoughts for what they are and combating them with compassionate thoughts.

From Stagnation To Action

Banish Your Inner Critic

Amy Edmondson is a management professor at Harvard Business School and has done a tremendous amount of work in the area of psychological safety. 
In her Tedx Talk, she describes psychological safety as “a shared belief that the team is safe for interpersonal risk taking.” Psychological safety is a critical yet often overlooked concept, and one which underpins Edmondson’s latest book, The Fearless Organization – Creating Psychological Safety in the Workplace for Learning, Innovation, and Growth.

The Fearless Organisation: Creating Psychological Safety At The Workplace

Psychological safety is not a personality difference but rather a feature of the workplace that leaders can and must help create.
Most companies do not pay adequate attention to the need for psychological safety to help people cope with the uncertainty and anxiety of organizational change. Psychological safety at any company is vital for helping people overcome the defensiveness and “learning anxiety” they face at work, especially when something doesn’t go as they’d hoped or expected.

Coping with Anxiety And Uncertainty

Company strategy can be viewed as a hypothesis, to be tested continuously, rather than a plan. 
Organisational learning – championed by company leaders but enacted by everyone – requires actively seeking deviations that challenge the assumptions underpinning a current strategy.

Adopting An Agile Approach

Being able to say that you don’t know and driving participation through inquiry are two strong tenets of psychological safety. 
Amy Edmondson shares some rules of thumb for asking a good question: One, you don’t know the answer; two, you ask questions that don’t limit responses to Yes or No, and three, you phrase the question in a way that helps others share their thinking in a focused way.

Inquiring With Employees Proactively

Working in a psychologically safe environment doesn’t mean that people always agree with one another for the sake of being nice. It also doesn’t mean that people offer unequivocal praise or unconditional support for everything you have to say. 
Psychological safety is about candour, about making it possible for productive disagreement and free exchange of ideas. Conflict inevitably arises in any workplace. Psychological safety enables people on different sides of a conflict to speak candidly about what’s bothering them.

Psychological Safety Isn’t About Being Nice

Psychological safety isn’t about personalities and refers to the work climate, and climate affects people with different personality traits in roughly similar ways. 
In a psychologically safe climate, people will offer ideas and voice their concerns regardless of whether they tend toward introversion or extroversion.

Psychological Safety Isn’t A Personality Factor

Although trust and psychological safety have much in common, they aren’t interchangeable concepts. 
A key difference is that psychological safety is experienced at a group level. Further, psychological safety describes a temporally immediate experience

Not Just Trust

Psychological safety is not an “anything goes” environment where people aren’t expected to adhere to high standards or meet deadlines. It isn’t about becoming “comfortable” at work.
Psychological safety enables candour and openness and, as such, thrives in an environment of mutual respect.

Performance Standards

An appropriate, empathetic and powerful question has the following attributes:
<ul>
<li>Generates curiosity in the listener</li>
<li>Stimulates reflective conversation</li>
<li>Is thought-provoking</li>
<li>Surfaces underlying assumptions</li>
<li>Invites creativity and new possibilities</li>
<li>Generates energy and forward movement</li>
<li>Channels attention and focuses inquiry</li>
<li>Stays with participants</li>
<li>Touches a deep meaning</li>
<li>Evokes more questions.</li>
</ul>

Powerful Questions

What the leader needs to do for setting up the stage:
<ul>
<li>Frame the work – Set expectations about failure, and interdependence to clarify the need for voice</li>
<li>Emphasise the purpose – Identify what’s at stake, why it matters, and for whom</li>
</ul>
This accomplishes shared expectations and meaning.

Leaders Toolkit For Building Psychological Safety

What a leader needs to do to invite participation:
<ul>
<li>Demonstrate situational humility – Acknowledge gaps</li>
<li>Practice inquiry – Ask good questions and model intense listening</li>
<li>Set up structures and processes – Create forums for input and provide guidelines for discussion.</li>
</ul>
This accomplishes confidence in the team that voices are welcome.

Leaders Toolkit: Inviting Participation

What a leader needs to do to garner productive response: <ul><li>Express appreciation – Listen, acknowledge and thank</li><li>Destigmatize failure – Look forward, offer help. Discuss, consider and brainstorm the next steps</li><li>Sanction clear violations</li></ul>This creates a shared learning environment with mutual respect.

“Stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than evil.”

“The power of the one needs the stupidity of the other. The process at work here is not that particular human capacities, for instance, the intellect, suddenly atrophy or fail. Instead, it seems that under the overwhelming impact of rising power, humans are deprived of their inner independence, and, more or less consciously, give up establishing an autonomous position toward the emerging circumstances. The fact that the stupid person is often stubborn must not blind us to the fact that he is not independent.

“In conversation with him, one virtually feels that one is dealing not at all with a person, but with slogans, catchwords and the like that have taken possession of him. He is under a spell, blinded, misused, and abused in his very being. Having thus become a mindless tool, the stupid person will also be capable of any evil and at the same time incapable of seeing that it is evil.”

“It is a particular form of the impact of historical circumstances on human beings, a psychological concomitant of certain external conditions. Upon closer observation, it becomes apparent that every strong upsurge of power in the public sphere, be it of a political or of a religious nature, infects a large part of humankind with stupidity.”

“When your deepest convictions are challenged by contradictory evidence, your beliefs get stronger.”

“The sick individual finds himself at home with all other similarly sick individuals. The whole culture is geared to this kind of pathology. The result is that the average individual does not experience the separateness and isolation the fully schizophrenic person feels. He feels at ease among those who suffer from the same deformation; in fact, it is the fully sane person who feels isolated in the insane society.”

“The mass of people are so stupid, so gullible, because they want to be misled. There’s no way to make them not want it. You have to work with the human race as it exists, with all of its flaws. Getting them to see reason is a fool’s errand.”

“But these thoughts about stupidity also offer consolation in that they utterly forbid us to consider the majority of people to be stupid in every circumstance. It really will depend on whether those in power expect more from people’s stupidity than from their inner independence and wisdom.”

“In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.”

Takes a deep dive into the mind and stupidity.

Bonhoeffer’s Theory of Stupidity Explains The World Perfectly

I've made many mistakes."But this does not become evil. They occur through wrong evaluation or comparison, through over-anxiousness or excessive optimism. First mistakes could be judgment errors, yet a lesson learned. Multiple mistakes can then compound into a conscious mistake upon a negative plane of mind, which can be punishable through the law of reaction and your conscious realization that you deliberately created your test and the trial is you must now find the solution."Alfred J. Parker, Founder, Kabalarian Philosophy (1897-1964)<a href="https://www.kabalarians.com/cfm/SearchDocs/ethics.cfm">Kabbalarian Ethics of Thinking</a>

Words have the power to create or destroy. The word Dunamis is a Greek philosophical concept meaning "power", "potential" or "ability" it is where the word Dynamite comes from. Strive to appreciate and respect the words we use by removing vulgarity, deceit, defamation, or gossiping. In doing so we are less likely to start putting ourselves in that plane of consciousness where we, therefore, become the tested and arbiter of something we might have created ourselves, or are afraid of, or did not want to feel exposed. Any mutated form of pride has universal constraints and ramifications.

When you are sad, you may have ideas that advise you to remain alone, be quiet, and not disturb others with your issues. These beliefs, once again, should be considered parasites that aim to prevent your body from being healthy. Don’t pay attention to them.

1. Why Shouldn’t Isolate Yourself

“For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.”

Depression is usually followed by a harsh, self-destructive mindset that disrupts and distracts us from our daily lives. When people are sad, they tend to embrace their bad identity as a real reflection of who they are. Many individuals fail to comprehend that this cruel point of view is the voice of an unseen foe within.

2. Evaluate & Overcome Major Self-Defense Attacks

It may appear ridiculous or too simplistic, but anything that makes you laugh or grin might actually assist your brain to believe you are happy. If you consider depression to be your critical inner voice tricking you into feeling lousy, you might prepare your own methods to combat despair.

3. Enjoy a funny TV show or film.

Depression: How to Fight It Actively (2021)

Emotions mostly originate in the limbic system and the most primitive part of the brain. On the other hand, feelings come from the frontal lobe. In other words, feelings result from abstract thinking. Emotions are innate and genetically determined as the result of evolution. Although it seems weird, there’s a maximum number of emotions we can have - there’s no maximum number of feelings we can have.We verbally define feelings, while we define emotions psychophysiologically. Feelings originate from our interpretation of events and sensations. Emotions come from a nervous system response.

Automatic vs. reason

Emotions are characterized by being quite immediate. They represent the body’s alarm and survival system. In order to have a feeling, it’s necessary to think about what has happened (value the emotion), reflect on how we behaved, and thus begin to elaborate on it psychologically.Because emotions come and go quickly, our body has another assessment and motivation mechanism: feelings. Feelings represent the remnants of emotions. One of the main differences between emotions and feelings is that a feeling develops little by little.

The speed in which they appear and change

The basic and universal emotions include joy, anger/rage, fear, surprise, and sadness. In this sense, surprise is a neutral emotion whose function is to help us stay alert and very aware of what’s going to happen.For example, sadness makes us distance ourselves from others. However, feelings are much more varied and slow. They lead us to reflect on what we can do to stop feeling uncomfortable or unpleasant.

Emotions are very powerful while feelings aren’t as intense

Finally, because there are differences between emotions and feelings, there are also different ways to manage these experiences. While emotions require disconnection (for example, to avoid increasing anger and losing control), feelings need to be heard and redirected. In any case, it’s possible to both regulate emotions and reinterpret feelings and these things help us have better psychological health.

Managing feelings versus emotions

Because there are differences between emotions and feelings, there are also different ways to manage these experiences. Read more here!
