Do You Really Think, That? Using Logic

Do You Really Think, That? Using Logic


What Stops People from Using Logic?

Logic is like vegetables—good for you but not always appealing. Here’s why it often gets sidelined and what you can do to change that:

Common Logic Avoiders:

1?? The Overthinker: Overanalyzes to the point of paralysis, freezing like a buffering video. ?? Read: Overthinking by David M. Clark

2?? The Feeler: Relies on emotions to solve problems, like empathizing with a malfunctioning printer. ?? Read: Emotional Intelligence 2.0 by Travis Bradberry

3?? The Assumer: Leans on tradition instead of reasoning: "We’ve always done it this way." ?? Read: Think Again by Adam Grant

4?? The Ego-Driven: Assumes they’re right because it’s their idea. ?? Read: Ego is the Enemy by Ryan Holiday

5?? The Procrastinator: Delays applying logic until it’s too late. ?? Read: Eat That Frog! by Brian Tracy

Why Is Logic Hard?

It’s effortful! Logic demands pausing, questioning, and clarifying assumptions—tasks our energy-conserving brains resist.

?? Train Your Brain: How to Think More Logically ?? Read: The Art of Thinking Clearly by Rolf Dobelli

Final Takeaway:

Logic is worth the effort. It upgrades your decisions—even if it feels like eating your vegetables initially, it gets easier to swallow. ??
