A commitment to problem solving, rather than just complaining about things, is a major attitude shift for fulfilling oneself and others in life. Strephon Kaplan-Williams, psychologist-philosopher, podcaster takes you through the process. Instant change is possible out of his challenge to stop complaining in life.I once worked at an innovative treatment center as the chief psychotherapist. There in one of the memos to all our seventy staff I put out a direct order to stop complaining. It led to positive results, because of course I could not act like some army general, but I could highlight the issue in a dramatic way.
With all my students and clients in therapy I have suggested ending complaining, but of course not in a direct memo to my clients.
