"Social friction" as a tool for self-knowledge
Manage episode 341901375 series 3290960
Welcome to Thursday thoughts -- brief thought prompts to consider as a way to bring more peace to your mind and more ease to your life.
Today I'm talking about "social friction," a concept described by Dr. Rangan Chatterjee in his latest book, "Happy Mind, Happy Life."
The idea is to explore the social interactions that cause friction in our days with a warm, gentle perspective: Why does this trigger me? What does it tell me about myself, my current energy and my state of mind? How can I give the person who triggered me the benefit of the doubt in my mind, so the experience is less painful and less personal to me?
I found this concept so compelling (and challenging!) that I wanted to share it with you.
What do you think about "social friction"? Let me know if you try it and what the experience is like! DM me on IG @YouKnowSandy.
