If you look for problems, you will find them. Philosopher Andrew Taggart calls this tendency “the problematization of the world.”4 As he argues, “The world writ large is not a problem to be solved.” Despite this, we diagnose endless problems in our lives and the world at large and are presented with books, ideas, playbooks, influencers, and products that are happy to offer solutions. We become convinced that once we solve all of our problems, all will be okay.
