Скачать или смотреть The Paradox of a Perfect Life: Why We Need Problems

Imagine waking up one day and finding that every single one of your problems has vanished. Nothing worries you, nothing fails you, nothing hurts. Your life is perfect. So perfect, in fact, that you no longer know what to live for. The human brain was built to solve problems. If you take away the obstacles, you take away its purpose. Today, let’s look at the science behind why a life without struggle might be our greatest nightmare. We’ve all dreamed of a life without stress, without pain—without the things that keep us up at night. But science suggests that without problems, the brain simply shuts down. History proves this better than any theory. Wars forced us to invent modern surgery. Pandemics pushed us to understand the invisible power of microbes. Economic crises taught us how to produce, save, and plan. Hunger led humanity to cultivate the land, and the fear of death drove us to seek meaning in the universe.
Everything that makes us strong today was born in a moment when all seemed lost. Comfort never changed the world; struggle did. Basically, problems are the biological engine of change—the hidden code that pushes humanity to evolve.
