Expanding our Vocabulary – Extrinsic incentives bias

We often believe that people can be motivated by incentives – just up the incentives, and they will be more motivated.  This is actually a bias, and when employed, can be counterproductive.

Saying that should cease – Getting away with it

Rules are out there – speed limits, paying for things, etc. – and there are times when they are not enforced.  We often feel a brush of excitement in getting away with something, but is this helpful?

Expanding our Vocabulary – Radical responsibility

Our world has many complainers who bemoan their circumstances, but we all can be empowered to change things with radical responsibility.

Saying that should cease – Time heals all wounds

While a common saying, time is not the healer.  Healing includes everything from medical attention for physical wounds, attentional focus for psychological wounds, and internal work and forgiveness.

Expanding our Vocabulary – Pluralistic Ignorance

When we are in a group, we may be influenced by how others behave, believing that their thoughts influence their behaviour, and allow this to override what we are thinking, and then behaving.
