The habituation of a culture bubble
Habituation occurs when you grow accustomed to stimuli that happen repeatedly. The loud fridge, but you will later become used to it. People always being late for meetings can make you angry at first, but later on, you are not bothered by it.
Habituation has nothing to do with common sense or approval. We become habituated because "that is the way things work around here."

How knowledge about different cultures is shaking the foundations of psychology
Different Psychologies
Psychology, which was largely developed in North American and Europe, has largely been able to understand human behavior and mental processes.
As our knowledge of different cultures and thou...
The Right Representation
Normally, studies conducted to understand human behavior have participants representing the wider human population, which may be true in a certain geography but isn't accurate when we take into account other cultures and demographics.
More than 90% of the participants in psychological studies originate from countries that are Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich and Democratic (W.E.I.R.D) which is neither a random sample nor a real representation of the human population.
Different Ways Of Being
People across the world have different ways of describing themselves, different mental associations and thinking styles, possessing radically diverse motivations, upbringing, and social relationships.
What may be categorized as a mental illness in a certain part of the world may be normal behavior in another. Cultural differences pervade in a wider array of human behavior and there is a need to increase the circumference and scope of these studies.

Shifting a company's culture
Changing a company culture is about tapping into the core beliefs of each individual, understanding what their basic underlying assumptions are, and creating an environment where those can be listened to, brought together, and reacted to.

When CEO Satya Nadella took over Microsoft, he started defusing its toxic culture by handing each of his execs a 15-year-old book by a psychologist
The 4 components of effective communication:
- Observing what is happening in a situation (such as someone saying or doing something you don't like).
- Stating how you feel when you observe the action.
- Expres...
Observing without evaluating
Good communicators are able to separate their observations of a situation from their evaluations or judgments of it.
For example, "Janice works too much" contains an evaluation: working too much is subjective, and if Janice heard that, she may take it as criticism and become defensive. Saying "Janice spent more than 60 hours at the office this week" is an observation without any judgments attached.
Strengthening our vocabulary for feelings
When you're expressing your feelings, it's better to use words that refer to specific emotions rather than words that are vague and general.
Don't say you feel "good" when words like happy, excited, relieved, or anything else could describe how you feel more precisely.
