The Backwards Law: Why Trying Harder Doesn't Work

In this video we explore "The Backwards Law," a paradoxical concept, by Alan Watts, suggesting that the more we chase something, the further it eludes us. It highlights storytelling and quotes from thinkers like Alan Watts, Lao Tzu, and Eckhart Tolle to illustrate this concept. Examples, such as the pursuit of happiness and the power of surrender, demonstrate how the Backwards Law plays out in our lives. We recommend books like "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck" and movies like "Into the Wild" to delve deeper into these ideas. The last segment talks about how “You can Get What You Want” practising the concept of The Backwards Law.
