We are oddly paradoxical creatures who long to be happy while creating our own suffering. We replay past anguish, anticipate future distress, and stew in self-righteous anger.
In Hard to Be Human, Ted Cadsby focuses on five cognitive design flaws that foster underthinking and overreacting and reveals powerful strategies to overcome them.
- Greedy reductionism
- Addiction to certainty
- Holding ourselves emotional hostage
- Competing with ourselves
- Misdirecting the need for meaning
