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.

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. ??
