Quotes by Designing the Mind (?)

“Much of the pain we experience is caused not by events we wish to avoid, but by the identity we wish to have.”

“1. All-or-Nothing Thinking The tendency to think in extremes like 鈥渁lways鈥� and 鈥渘ever鈥� without considering nuanced degrees between. 鈥淢y boyfriend broke up with me; I always ruin my relationships.鈥� 2. Overgeneralization The tendency to make broad assumptions based on limited specifics. 鈥淚f one person thinks I鈥檓 stupid, everyone will.鈥� 3. Mental Filter The tendency to focus on small negative details to the exclusion of the big picture. 鈥淢y A+ average doesn鈥檛 matter; I got a C on an assignment.鈥� 4. Disqualifying the Positive The tendency to dismiss positive aspects of an experience for irrational reasons. 鈥淚f my friend compliments me, she is probably just saying it out of pity.鈥� 5. Jumping to Conclusions The tendency to make unfounded, negative assumptions, often in the form of attempted mind reading or fortune telling. 鈥淚f my romantic interest doesn鈥檛 text me today, he must not be interested.鈥� 6. Catastrophizing The tendency to magnify or minimize certain details of an experience, painting it as worse or more severe than it is. 鈥淚f my wife leaves me, then I will never be able to recover from my misery.鈥� 7. Emotional Reasoning The tendency to take one鈥檚 emotions as evidence of objective truth. 鈥淚f I feel offended by someone else鈥檚 remark, then he must have wronged me.鈥� 8. Should Statements The tendency to apply rigid rules to how one 鈥渟hould鈥� or 鈥渕ust鈥� behave. 鈥淢y friend criticized my attitude, and that is something that friends should never do.鈥� 9. Labeling The tendency to describe oneself in the form of absolute labels. 鈥淚f I make a calculation error, it makes me a total idiot.鈥� 10. Personalization The tendency to attribute negative outcomes to oneself without evidence. 鈥淚f my wife is in a bad mood, then I must have done something to upset her.”

“The way your mind is structured will determine the person you will become, the life you will live, and the fulfillment you will realize. When you modify your mind, you make changes to the operating system at your core and change your personal trajectory. And when you make a persistent occupation of this endeavor, you become the architect of your own character.”

Designing鈥檚 Quotes

“The modern fascination with neuroplasticity has led many to try to optimize their intelligence, memory, and concentration. People obsessively track and optimize their sleep, nutrition, and exercise regimens. But people who obsessively and directly optimize the structure of their minds for flourishing are less common."

“Psychitecture is a high-level design and implementation process - creative problem-solving for the subjective experience - and when utilized persistently, it can take a mind that is like a prison and gradually transform it into a palace.”

“Societal pressures work to pull you up to the line of psychological adequacy, and psychotherapy can be used when society falls short. But these aims are far too low. Falling within the current normal range of psychological health is nothing to aspire to. We are interested in far exceeding this line - in psychological greatness.”
