Over the last decade therapy has become the default solution to nearly every problem for adults and kids. What if sticking people into therapy who don't have a real problem in therapy does more damage than good What if we're doing too much therapy Thats what Abigail Shrier thinks is happening and in this conversation she reveals some surprising reasons why.

"There is a certain category of decisions that work well in the classroom but not in real life. I call these chalkboard decisions. These decisions tease us because the math always seems correct. The problem is that most decisions are less about the math and more about judgment. The math always points to the optimal immediate decision which is rarely the best long-term decision. Consider paying off your mortgage. With 2% interest rates the spreadsheet will tell you it doesnt make sense to pay off your mortgage. Instead put the money you would have used to pay off your house in the stock market."

"While we naturally understand that writing is a good way to share ideas with others we under-appreciate just how much good writing helps us think about an idea ourselves. Writing forces you to slow down focus and think deeply. Only when we take time to play with our ideas can we hope to think about them meaningfully. Writing is the process by which we realize we do not understand our own ideas and one way we develop new ideas. Writing requires the compression of an idea. When done poorly compression removes crucial information. When done well compression keeps the essential and removes the"

Complex systems often have many feedback loops and it can be hard to appreciate how adjusting to feedback in one part of the system will affect the rest. Using feedback loops as a mental model begins with noticing the feedback you give and respond to every day. The model also gives insight into the value of iterations in adjusting based on the feedback you receive. With this lens you gain insight into where to direct system"

"Mental Model Monday "Inertia is the stubborn resistance of the universe to change. Its the reason why objects at rest tend to stay at rest and objects in motion tend to stay in motion. You can think of inertia as the guardian of the status quo. At its core inertia is a property of mass. The more massive an object is the more it resists changes to its state of motion. A feather with its tiny mass is easily blown about by the slightest breeze. A boulder on the other hand requires a powerful force to get it moving. This is why it takes more effort to push a heavy cart than a light one more"
