Description

Have you ever given someone advice so good, it could’ve changed their life… but when you faced the same problem yourself, you froze?

You knew exactly what they needed to hear — but when it came to your own situation, the answers just… disappeared.

Why is it so easy to be wise for others, but so hard to apply that wisdom to ourselves?

In this episode of The Vancrux Podcast, we unpack the fascinating psychological concept known as Solomon’s Paradox — a phenomenon that shows how we become smarter, calmer, and more strategic when we take a step outside of our own emotional chaos.

🧠 You'll learn:

• The surprising origin story of Solomon’s Paradox
• The 2014 research by psychologist Igor Grossmann that exposed this mental glitch
• Two powerful tools you can use immediately: self-distancing and third-person self-talk
• A guided thought experiment to help you think clearly in the middle of personal storms
• A metaphor that will forever change how you approach your own problems

🎯 Whether you're stuck in a decision, overwhelmed by emotion, or just want to level up your mental clarity — this episode hands you the lens to see your life from a higher perspective.

This isn't just psychology. It’s a tool for transformation.
