[Music] what's a boomerang effect a boomerang's defining characteristic is that it's much like karma what goes around comes around and a boomerang always returns the idea of a boomerang effect is that sometimes putting too much effort might lead to an unexpected backlash let's take a look at a couple of examples of the boomerang effect imagine that you really want someone to agree with you so you try to persuade them you keep going on and on you throw everything you have at the problem and in the end the person is so tired of the experience you get the opposite effect they remain unconvinced and angry because you used too much effort another example is when you are trying to get to sleep early you push yourself so hard to fall asleep that you find yourself lying wide awake because you get stressed putting too much attention effort and energy into achieving an outcome in short can sometimes lead to the opposite outcome why does the boomerang effect happen we are usually taught that we have to work hard to get things and sometimes we take this advice too far it's not that we need to stop putting in an effort but there are several disadvantages to doing too much first it can lead to tunnel vision it becomes hard for us to see any other possibilities paths forward and alternatives we become so focused on the goal that we lose sight of the context which makes us less likely to adapt if there are any changes secondly it happens because too much effort does not always translate into better outcomes we might need to focus our efforts specifically and try to do things in a smarter way rather than just working harder thirdly the relationship between effort and outcomes is even less powerful when other people are involved other people tend to respond poorly if they feel pressured or pushed into a solution or situation even if we make amazing points we might turn people away because of our pushiness what can you do to avoid the boomerang effect be flexible with the way you approach problems be willing to consider alternative options and solutions rather than becoming fixated on the one way it has to be don't try to force people and definitely cut down on being pushy offer the option your opinion and the benefits you see however accept a negative gracefully the boomerang effect can be avoided if we plan how to throw it and how to catch it be flexible and smart about the way you approach your problem found this video motivating subscribe to our channel and help us reach our target of 50 000 subscribers like the video and share it with others till then keep watching and keep learning
