The Backwards Law: How to Get More by Doing Less
Manage episode 430524427 series 1464165
There are certain areas in life where trying harder only makes things worse. Trying to prove how likable and confident you are only makes you feel more unlikable and less confident. Trying to make someone love you only makes you feel more unlovable.
The solution to this conundrum is what’s known as “The Backwards Law”.
Simply put, The Backwards law states that desiring a positive experience is itself a negative experience, while accepting a negative experience is a positive experience.
In this episode, Drew and I talk about five areas of life where doing less can actually reap massive benefits.
Enjoy.
