I would think that it scales, but that effectively practicing "highly skilled, non-naive good faith communication" is very difficult, and requires a lot of practice and honesty.

It starts with not assuming bad faith from the other side.

Trying to adapt your communication strategy depending on the profile of the other side is not really "good faith". The goal is to train _ourselves_ to look at reality in a less biased, personal way. Wanting to max out every opportunities precisely tends to distort reality.

This is the kind of comment a very boring person would make

I'd suggest you try meditation. It does not bring you instant happiness, but slowly brings about a sense of wisdom and peace that really resembles long-term happiness

> we also do have a strange narrative surrounding exercise and weight loss that I bought into

This narrative is pushed by the fast and highly-processed food industry. MacDonalds is sponsoring sport events with that very narrative : "morbidly-obese children of 8 should just do a bit more sport"

So sad to see a somewhat wild area got uglied with a shiny, propane-powered mansion. Poor birds will just fly away from this spot

It seems you are over-generalizing. Maybe people are not like you.

> People will absolutely leave your company if they think they can get paid more elsewhere.

Maybe you will. Maybe they won't. Everyone has his own bar for "enough" money. For some there is no such bar.

Why are you so agressive to the comment you're responding to ? Why do you refuse it the benefit of the doubt ?

I think both you and the guy you replied to are right. It is just 2 aspects of life.

What matters is how do we want to live life ? Do you want to accept that everything is pre-decided, and that we are puppets to our own biases, or do we want to believe that the power of our destiny is in our hands, that we change in every fleeting moment, and we can decide to change for the better version of ourselves ?

Because what you believe influences deeply what you become.

As you're speaking from your own experience, have you already worked in an Amazon warehouse ?

> people die during work, and it doesn't indicate any wrongdoing on any part.

Yes this may be true, but it is not relevant to the article content, where clearly it seems the working environment is at play.

And given the history of Amazon mistreating its workers, it is very hard to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Would you maybe like to elaborate on what was the details of the "guided" aspect of your sessions ?

To me, this simply shows how inequal the american society has become, and how the stock market amplifies it.

You can have an impact on the real economy with stocks. Look at what happened with GameStop. But that impact is done and decided by the wealthiest, who will reap the benefits of it.

But if you live paychecks by paychecks, having no money to put into stocks, you just suffer the consequences of this impact.

In my experience, it helped me be better comfortable around others.

Both having it easier to send good energy to people I liked, and not caring so much about being judged by others (less useless self-deprecation).

But everything else is _never_ the same. Once you're paid more, you move into a bigger house, have more needs, and without knowing it you're just as tight on money as you were before.

But then you just have more stress at work, and you just can't quit that easily bc there arent so many jobs that pay as much as this one...

Just to provide the other side of this general advice, that is really everywhere, but rarely delivers in regards to happiness.
