Tired of the same old advice? Enter “High Thinker”

We often hear: "Science knows best."

People respect science, and for good reason.

But sometimes, we trust it too much.

The problem?

Often, what's scientifically accepted today can be debunked tomorrow.

For example:

• Flat earth theory: Once a factual belief, now laughable.
• Bloodletting & lobotomies: Once-celebrated cure-alls today seem barbaric.
• The 10% brain myth: Neuroscience now frowns upon this idea.

A common oversight: Thinking every new fact is final

Assuming every new discovery as the ultimate truth is flawed – because eventually there’s something else that takes its place.

As a behaviour change scientist, I back modern methods, but older ways often seem to offer even more valuable lessons. These traditional ideas and practices have survived the test of time for a reason.

Ancient teachings about family, sacrifice, duty, loyalty, and honesty hold timeless value.

I'm convinced that blending this age-old wisdom with modern science paves the way for profound transformations.

Shifting gears: From purely modern to ancient-inspired thinking

Rather than solely relying on the latest scientific findings, it's essential to delve into their roots and broader implications.

Combining old wisdom with new knowledge leads to better mental health, indistractible focus, and a deeper sense of purpose.
