Lesson notes
Key points
- Denial: C tier: pretending the problem isn't there just lets it grow quietly.
- Victim mentality: C tier too: blaming others feels good but hands away your power to fix it.
- Venting the feeling: B tier: noticing the emotion is a start, but a signal needs action.
- Solving the problem: A tier: solving it brings real happiness, though it creates the next problem.
- Choosing better problems: S tier: problems never stop, so the win is upgrading to ones you enjoy solving.
Takeaway: Don't escape problems; trade up for better ones.
