Labeling Yourself is Keeping You Down, Do This Instead - Nir And Far

Nir And Far: Business, Behaviour and the Brain - A podcast by Nir Eyal

Labeling yourself has risks. Give yourself space to change and grow. Recently, after I gave a virtual presentation on my book Indistractable, a listener wrote something in the Zoom chat that drove me bonkers: “This is great but wouldn’t work for me. I’m a Gemini.” Insert face plant. You’d be surprised how often I hear this rationalization or something like it. Sure, only hard-core astrology followers would find any justification in that listener’s statement—but the sad thing is, to some degree, we all use a form of it. Most people hawk “This just wouldn’t work for me” as a valid explanation for not trying something new.
