Human Nature | Our obsession with impressing others
Have you ever felt like you needed to do something purely because how others view it? I know I have and even now do, though I try remind myself to be better. But if we're being honest and objective, it's all a lot of smoke and mirrors that we don't need to listen to.
The reality is, we human beings are painfully simple creatures who for a variety of reasons feel the need to impress others … in fact, “feel the need” is not putting this point strongly enough. This is an obsession for some people. The rise of social media is most certainly only making it worse but this is fundamentally part of human nature and even something we see in my primitive creatures, like football fans.
In this video, we're delving deep into a topic that has intrigued philosophers, psychologists, and everyday individuals for centuries: our innate desire to impress others. Why do we seek validation from those around us? What drives this human obsession? And importantly for this channel’s purpose, how does this affect our financial well being, wealth accumulation and financial future.
