Help Me Help You – The Art Of Solving Problems
In a world where division seems to regularly trump unity, it’s important to take a step back and look at the most precious thing we have to bring likeminded people together: community. One of the hallmarks of any strong community, such as that of Friends of Search, is that people are willing to give and receive help.
In this talk, Simo, a pathological helper, outlines some of the ways in which knowledge sharing can be made to flourish and, as a consequence, create stronger and more unified communities. It’s not easy to make communities thrive – human nature has momentum that makes it easier to cause strife than to heal it. However, there are certain mental models, practices, and thought processes you can adopt to make sure that you and the people around you are working for a common good. This talk will hopefully leave you with renewed energy for being a positive force in the communities you frequent.
