RE: The Power of Conformity: Could this hardwired social behaviour be damaging your financial future?
Great post, and in a good writing style as well.
The tricky part with avoiding "following the crowd" is that it takes constant conscious effort. It's not like when you decide "I'm gonna do my own research" you become blind to the hype... Subconsciousness really doesn't want to give up the wheel that easy. So yeah, I agree with you here 100%.
Thank you Laxam buddy, it's nice to hear nice things :)
100%. It takes real focus to adopt a more independent thinking pattern, when conformity basically represents the cognitive 'Default' Setting. It's safe, our brains like safety. But I think keeping this actively in mind helps to assert a little more control over your overall decision making process, which can only be a good thing in my opinion.
