One’s ability to reason more sensibly about someone else’s problems than one’s own

---

There is a striking disparity between your ability to give advice and your ability to take your own advice?

---

Humans are notoriously good at delivering sound, rational perspectives to others, but notoriously bad at delivering those same sound, rational perspectives to themselves.

---

Why?

* When you’re considering someone else’s problems, you are objective, rational, and balanced.
* When you’re considering your own problems, you are emotional, irrational, and volatile.

# 所羅門悖論：為何我們善於為他人提供建議，卻難以解決自己的問題？

所羅門悖論指的是：當我們面對他人的問題時，往往能夠理性分析、給出明智的建議，但當相同的困境發生在自己身上時，卻顯得束手無策。那麼，如何應對這一現象呢？

## 1. 借助外部視角

在做決策時，我們可以尋求值得信賴的朋友或專業人士的建議。通過比較他們的觀點與自己的解決方案，綜合考量後再做最終決定，從而降低 [自身情緒](emotion-control.md) 對 [判斷](decision-making.md) 的影響。

## 2. 切換觀點，練習「自我抽離」

透過「[自我抽離](when-in-doubt-zoom-out.md)」，我們可以嘗試將自己視為第三者，以客觀旁觀者的角度來分析自身問題。這種方式能增強「適應性反思 (adaptive self-reflection)」，避免情緒干擾，提升 [解決問題](Problem%20Solving.md) 的能力。
