One of the most glaring misunderstandings we come across in what we might call ‘rational psychology’ is that we assume it to be the case that we can will change in ourselves. Even to call this a ‘misunderstanding’ isn't addressing...

Modern psychology is like an experiment gone wrong. There's no such thing as ‘an experiment gone wrong’ really, of course; when we don't have a hidden agenda to prove that our hypothesis is correct (which wouldn’t be very scientific) there...

The everyday self is a bias that cannot see itself as such, a bias that ‘takes itself for granted’, so to speak, and the prognosis for this peculiar situation - this situation where we identify with ‘the bias that can’t...

From a psychological point of views - as odd as it might sound - ‘trying’ or ‘striving’ is the same thing as pretending. ‘Trying’ is the same thing as pretending because we're pretending that we actually stand a chance of...

When you think you’re ‘somebody’ then that's bad news. That's a disaster! When you know you're not anybody then you're laughing, you're as free as a bird, but we don’t happen to see things like this. We see things exactly...
