As remote and hybrid work arrangements become the norm, the debate continues around the value of connection in person. One aspect to be fully explored is how digital communication influences people's desire to help one another.

In-person connections

Research found a clear hierarchy of communication channels: Face-to-face is the most effective, followed by any form of video or audio communication, followed by text-based communication.<ul><li>A behavioural study found that if your goal is to get a "yes", physical presence in the room is the best. 80% of respondents agreed to help with a task when asked in person, while only 48% of people asked via digital communication agreed to do the task.</li><li>A second study found that video and audio communication channels were 86% more effective than email.</li></ul>

The hierarchy of communication channels

Participants in the studies were unaware of the effects. They expected that requests via email or a video channel would be as effective as asking in person. One reason in-person requests are more effective is that they make people feel more uncomfortable to say "no".

Why in-person requests are more successful

A recent study found that people were 67% more likely to agree to in-person requests than those made over audio or video call.

Substance Abuse: Know the Signs

When you see someone is driving a nice car, you rarely think, "Wow, the guy driving that car is cool." Instead, you think, "Wow if I had that car people would think I'm cool." Subconscious or not, this is how people think.There is a paradox here: people tend to want wealth to signal to others that they should be linked and admired. But in reality those other people often bypass admiring you, not because they don't think wealth is admirable, but because they use your wealth as a benchmark for their own desire to be liked and admired.

There is an iron law in economics : extremely good and extremely bad circumstances rarely stay that way for long because supply and demand adapt in hard-to-predict ways.

Iron Law Of Economics

Doing well with money isn’t necessarily about what you know. It’s about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people. Money—investing, personal finance, and business decisions—is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life’s most important topics.

The Psychology of Money

📍 If someone is attracted to you, their eyes start blinking more than usual during a conversation with you.📍 The ability to walk away from unpleasant situations is one of the most empowering moves that you possess. It’s psychologically important for you to know that you’re strong enough.📍 When you talk to yourself you’re making yourself ‘smarter.’📍 As you grow older you realize it becomes less important to have more friends and more important to have real ones.📍 People tend to trust appearance more than sincerity.

📍 The loneliest people are the kindest. The saddest people smile the brightest. The most damaged people are the wisest.📍 No matter how hard you try, the core parts of your personality are not going to change. Most people confuse their personality changes with their habits, health, responsibilities, and circumstances. Those things can change but for the most part, your personality does not.📍 Easily distracted people are more creative.📍 Your selfie style may reveal how open you are to new experiences.

📍 Younger people feel happy when they get excited about something, whereas older people are more able to feel happy in an overall sense of peace.📍 Studies indicate that the order you are born in can influence the type of personality you will have. It is common for firstborn children to be more responsible and better leaders while last-born children will have a more carefree personality who is more irresponsible and impulsive.📍 People who are low on conscientiousness are more likely to cheat on their partner, research finds.

Personality Facts

Practicing detachment is part of life.I’m not trying to say that success and happiness are bad things to be chasing, it’s just that I came to a realise : chasing something too hard can lead to a lot of expectations and attachment to the outcome of a situation, which in itself can lead to suffering. What will they say? What will they decide?

The Art of Detachment: Learning to Let Go

We all know by now that an outcome in any given situation is unpredictable. There are too many factors to know exactly what might happen. It may turn out the way we want, or it may not, but there’s no way to know which way it’ll go. Letting go of the outcome is a practice to work on every day. With our heart wrapped up in it, we become like sailors hoping for the blessed sight of land after a long voyage, anxiously waiting for that first sight of the green shores of our homeland, the place where we belong.

Letting Go.

Many claim that there is a way of detaching from such emotional situations, using your logic to essentially “talk yourself out of” feelings and convince yourself that though they may be valid, these emotions aren’t necessarily true.Researchers claim that the triangle of thoughts, feelings, and behaviours is reciprocal. Any change in the cycle has an influence on the others

Comparing ourselves to others allows them to drive our behavior. Sometimes this comparison is motivating and sometimes it’s destructive.

Comparing Can Be Motivating As Well As Destructive

At worst, when we compare ourselves to others we end up focusing our energy on bringing them down instead of raising ourselves up.

Comparisons between people are a recipe for unhappiness.

How To Focus On Yourself

I believe in the power of self awareness. To achieve self awareness we need to focus on ourselves instead of others. 

When you stop comparing yourself to others and turn your focus inward, you start being better at what really matters: being you.

The tragic death of their best friend has a profound influence on the passionate relationship between Toro, a serious young college student in Tokyo, and Naoko, an introspective beauty.

A special movie-tie in edition for the long-awaited film release based on this beloved novel by Haruki Murakami: the story of one college student's romantic coming-of-age, a journey to that distant place of a young man's first, hopeless, and heroic love. Toru, a quiet and preternaturally serious young college student in Tokyo, is devoted to Naoko, a beautiful and introspective young woman, but their mutual passion is marked by the tragic death of their best friend years before.  Toru begins to adapt to campus life and the loneliness and isolation he faces there, but Naoko finds the pressures and responsibilities of life unbearable.  As she retreats further into her own world, Toru finds himself reaching out to others and drawn to a fiercely independent and sexually liberated young woman.

Haruki Murakami is a Japanese writer. His novels, essays, and short stories have been bestsellers in Japan and internationally, with his work translated into 50 languages and having sold millions of copies outside Japan.
