“You do not find the good life through self-exploration. Psychology calls the misconception that we could encounter our true inclinations, our meaning of life, the golden core of our bliss through pure introspection, the Introspection Illusion (self-exploration illusion). The fact is: if you follow your feelings into the deepest forest, as many poets describe our emotional world, you will definitely get lost – and end up in a swamp of moods and emotions.”
– Rolf Dobelli, Swiss entrepreneur and author, on introspection and Introspection Illusion in Handelsblatt (No. 152, 09.08.2017)
