The Professional Listener

Life is becoming more convenient, but NOT necessarily easier.

We blindly follow the norm out there without reflecting on the values implied.

We compare ourselves to the ideal image on the internet.

Mark Zuckerberg cares about META stock price more than your well-being.

(well there are conflicts of interest everywhere)

Directly confronting the source of your frustrations could possibly put you at serious risk (e.g., get you fired).

it’s better for you to discharge negative emotions than to keep them bottled up inside.

As long as you’re sufficiently careful in selecting whom you’ll confide in, their sympathetic response is likely to make you feel better.

Ideally, you ought to be capable of independently moving beyond the feelings that plague you.

We hear but do not listen anymore. why?
