If I use Russellian Monism as an analogy for psychotherapy — insofar as it’s a dialectical synthesis — then Ellis is structure and Rogers is experience, or Ellis is physics and Rogers is phenomenology. #philosophy #psychotherapy #psychology

Don’t create a product, and then learn how to sell it.

Learn how to sell, and then you can sell any product.

Every disagreement boils down to the law of non-contradiction: a true belief and a false belief. Questions help you uncover the false belief. #philosophy #communication #logic

[Michael Pitluk @MichaelPitluk]

Don't raise your voice, improve your argument.

Don't improve your argument, ask questions.

Questions uncover the root-level false belief.

Which is the step before finding common ground.

Civilization lives between two states of nature.

The state of nature on the bottom with no power.

And the state of nature at the top with all the power.

When analyzing, don't zoom in to the what, zoom out to the why.

[Michael Pitluk @MichaelPitluk]

Right belief, right action, right outcome.

Wrong outcome, wrong action, wrong belief.

[Michael Pitluk @MichaelPitluk]

When there is a wrong outcome, there are two things to diagnose:

(1) what is the wrong action?
(2) what is the wrong belief behind the wrong action?

In other words: what was done, and why?

People want to stay away in state.

[Michael Pitluk @MichaelPitluk]

People are only one question deep.

There’s nothing more persuasive than a simple binary.

Field Of Dreams is right: If you build it, they will come. You just have to build a field of dreams.

The ultimate constraint is product.

Don't freak out. Figure out.

First time averaging over 90 WPM in a session.
First time breaking into 90% for all time speed.
I do this 15m a day.
This demonstrates and proves to myself the undeniable power of compounding effort, even on a super small scale.
So imagine bigger efforts on bigger scales.

The problem is never where you think it is. The problem is always upstream.

I wish this was a book: "The Psychology of Sales Copy: A Scientific Analysis of Written Persuasion" #business #copywriting #sales #marketing

You don't need to argue, you just need to ask questions.

[Michael Pitluk @MichaelPitluk]

Intelligence and discipline. Do you have the intelligence to understand? Do you have the discipline to execute?

[Michael Pitluk @MichaelPitluk]

The 1% produce what the 99% consume. Are you a producer or a consumer?
