Скачать или смотреть Dostoevsky and Why Smart People Are Lazy (And Why You Are Stuck)

"I swear, gentlemen, that to be too conscious is an illness—a real thorough-going illness." — Fyodor Dostoevsky.

You aren't lazy. You aren't "unmotivated." You are suffering from the curse of the intelligent: Inertia.

In Notes from Underground, Dostoevsky diagnosed a specific type of paralysis that affects those who think too much. While the "man of action" (the bull) charges at a wall because he is too stupid to question it, the intelligent man (the mouse) stops. He sees the wall, he understands the wall, and he does nothing.

If you spend your nights rotting in bed, unable to move, analyzing every possible outcome of your life until you are exhausted... this video is for you.

We explore the psychology of self-sabotage, the pleasure of despair, and why your brain is wired to destroy your own happiness.
