- One’s ability to reason more sensibly about someone else’s problems than one’s own
- There is a striking disparity between your ability to give advice and your ability to take your own advice?
- Humans are notoriously good at delivering sound, rational perspectives to others, but notoriously bad at delivering those same sound, rational perspectives to themselves.
- Why?
- When you’re considering someone else’s problems, you are objective, rational, and balanced.
- When you’re considering your own problems, you are emotional, irrational, and volatile.
所羅門悖論:為何我們善於為他人提供建議,卻難以解決自己的問題?
所羅門悖論指的是:當我們面對他人的問題時,往往能夠理性分析、給出明智的建議,但當相同的困境發生在自己身上時,卻顯得束手無策。那麼,如何應對這一現象呢?
1. 借助外部視角
在做決策時,我們可以尋求值得信賴的朋友或專業人士的建議。通過比較他們的觀點與自己的解決方案,綜合考量後再做最終決定,從而降低 自身情緒 對 判斷 的影響。
2. 切換觀點,練習「自我抽離」
透過「自我抽離 (self-distancing)」,我們可以嘗試將自己視為第三者,以客觀旁觀者的角度來分析自身問題。這種方式能增強「適應性反思 (adaptive self-reflection)」,避免情緒干擾,提升 解決問題 的能力。
