In this video, I critically question the traditional self-help culture that often prescribes simple and rigid solutions to complex, dynamic problems. My central argument is that this approach presents personal development as linear and straightforward, which doesn't do justice to the complex realities of life. Instead, I present Hegel's dialectical process as an alternative approach. It recognizes the limitations of simple solutions, emphasizes the need to grapple with contradictions, and leads to deeper growth through repeated adaptation. By understanding that no method works universally in the long term, we can discover new, more nuanced paths to personal development.
