“Todo esto se deriva de la verdad universal de que a nadie le gusta equivocarse o fallar. Es vergonzoso y confirma todas nuestras peores ansiedades sobre nosotros mismos. En lugar de aceptar estar equivocado o aprender la lección, nuestro primer instinto es huir de nuestra vergüenza y escondernos en un rincón. Esta es la misma razón por la que persistiremos en una discusión a muerte, incluso si sabemos que estamos cien por ciento equivocados. Si el ego fuese algo físico, sería de un tamaño considerable, sensible y fuertemente blindado (hasta el punto de pasar a la ofensiva), esencialmente un puercoespín gigante.”

“This is one of our most powerful motivators, but it is mostly unconscious. Simply put, we act to guard our ego from anything that would make us feel psychologically less. In doing so, it is so powerful that it allows us to bend reality and lie to ourselves and others—all outside of our conscious awareness. Defense mechanisms are the ways that we avoid responsibility and negative feelings, and they include denial, rationalization, projection, sublimation, regression, displacement, repression, and reaction formation, to name a few. When you know the ego is in play, it often takes front stage over other motivations.”

“This final point may ironically be the real key to unlocking other people—making sure we understand ourselves at a bare minimum before we turn our analytical gaze outward. If you’re unaware of how you may be projecting your own needs, fears, assumptions, and biases onto others, your observations and conclusions about others will not amount to much. In fact, you may have simply discovered a roundabout way of learning about yourself and the cognitive and emotional baggage you’re bringing to the table.”

You feel that you need to connect with principles that require you to step beyond what is convenient and what is comfortable. This is the plane of morality, creativity, spontaneity, lack of prejudice, and acceptance of reality.”

“We live in a world of duality—dark exists because of light, we only understand up because of down, and what is high energy must eventually slow and stop. Simply understanding this principle can help us understand people, too. We are all a blend of complementary, connected, and interdependent forces. Like the yin yang, each gives rise to and balances the other.”

“Finally, there’s something to consider when you’re studying other human beings, and it’s often a real bind spot: yourself. You might decide that someone is trying to deceive you, but completely fail to take into account your own paranoid and cautious nature, and the fact that you were recently lied to and are not quite over it yet.”

“the following questions to help you see them on a deeper level: What is this person actively and consciously portraying to me right now? What might this person be unwilling to acknowledge about themselves? How might this unacknowledged part of themselves be unconsciously driving the behavior I see on the surface?

Tu objetivo al identificar la (posible) sombra de alguien no es atraparlos, hacer que se les acerque o descubrir un botón que puedas presionar para tu propio beneficio.”

“Si no eres consciente de cómo puedes proyectar tus propias necesidades, miedos, suposiciones y prejuicios en los demás, tus observaciones y conclusiones sobre los demás no serán gran cosa.
