Join Life Lessons
A batch of the best highlights from what Shrishty's read, .
■ The culture we live in determines which behaviors are attractive to us.
■ We tend to adopt habits that are praised and approved of by our culture because we have a strong desire to fit in and belong to the tribe.
■ We tend to imitate the habits of three social groups: the close (family and friends), the many (the tribe), and the powerful (those with status and prestige).
■ One of the most effective things you can do to build better habits is to join a culture where (1) your desired behavior is the normal behavior and (2) you already have something in common with the group.
■ The normal behavior of the tribe often overpowers the desired behavior of the individual. Most days, we’d rather be wrong with the crowd than be right by ourselves.
■ If a behavior can get us approval, respect, and praise, we find it attractive.
