Second order Thinking

Notes

Second order thinking is a type of meta-thinking, which often happens during the process of introspection. We examine our preferences, our values, and our thoughts. For example, a first order thinking would be "I want to eat chocolate right now". A second order thinking would be "do I want to be a person who eats chocolate?". Like a smoker who feels an urge to smoke, and in general wants to quit smoking. When your first and second order thinking are not aligned it's a sign of intrapersonal conflict, and when they are aligned we can say that we have the ability to follow through with our authentic self.
