Sir Isaac Newton
Physicist, Mathematician and Fellow of the Royal Society.
1643-1727
We don’t normally think about scientists with their focus on data, experiments and the quantitative as being helpful in the domain of relationships which focuses on feelings, experiences and the qualitative.
Even so, insights from one area of human experience can often provide insights into another.
Sir Isaac Newton may have been the most important scientist of all time, not only for his discoveries, but for the subsequent advancements made possible by those building on his laws of motion and other contributions. Newton’s third law states that, without exception, “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. What most people don’t know is that it can be a powerful lens for getting what you want, simplifying relationships, and improving your life.”
Why not lie down on the couch with this 3-minute read article and learn about “The Physics of Relationships: Going Positive and Going First?” In fairness to Sir Isaac, he may well have appreciated the analogy between physics and psychology. He once remarked that “Tact is the art of making a point without making an enemy.”
