The psychological reasons behind self sabotage are intertwined in all aspects of human life. Self sabotage is based on a human’s need to fit into and maintain tribal affiliation. Saying that, such tribe based behavior and the need to seek tribal approval NEVER has anything to do with logic, rational thought or morality. In the case below, we see a very public figure murdered……..and not because such an evil act made any moral or logical sense what so ever but because the people who planned the murder were driven to defend their tribe from a perceived threat. The science of self sabotage exposes the extremely illogical motivations behind most people’s daily behavior. If people can fully understand this cycle, they can make better decisions and build a more logical, moral and successful life because of it.
