The Importance of Phenomenology and Hyper Reflection

Christian Majburg, the author of 'Look How to Pay Attention in the Distracted World' discusses the role of phenomenology in understanding human behavior. By observing others and using oneself as a reference point, a more holistic perspective can be gained. Hyper reflection, the act of seeing oneself see and understanding how others see, leads to a deeper understanding of individuals and their experiences. This practice of deep looking and listening helps to break down misunderstandings and enables better decision-making in various fields, from business to healthcare.
