This is that force within you, within your psyche, that is looking for instant gratification, for pleasure. What is that literally? That can be described as your more base, instinctual desires. What is the id? The id is the horse, or multiple horses, that you’ve got pulling your carriage forward. These are functions of the psyche: the id, the ego and the superego. That’s exactly what Freud was talking about. I love this image, because it’s so easy to remember, and it clearly illustrates what each of these functions of the psyche are. His father is yelling at the rider, telling him where to steer the carriage. Then, inside the carriage, behind the rider is his old father. The ego is the rider, he’s trying to control the horses. That is like the relationship between the id and the ego. He’s also got a whip, so he’s whipping the horses to make them run. Then, what have you got? You’ve got the rider on top of the buggy, who is holding the reins and trying to control the horses, trying to steer the horses. Here’s you’ve got the horses that are pulling this buggy forward at breakneck speed. He says it’s like this: Imagine in the old times, there’s an old buggy. There he gives us this amazing analogy of what the id, the ego and the superego are. We can still take some lessons from this old model that Freud developed and we can see how we can use it to help us today.Ī really good analogy that I loved and got from Jonathan Haidt, who wrote the Happiness Hypothesis.
What I’m delivering to you guys through Actualized.oprg is more practical, more modern ides, things you can go out there and apply. The whole Sigmund Freud school of thought, the whole analytical, psychoanalytic school of thought is in many ways not what you want to be using in order to move forward in your own personal growth. In a lot of ways, they are somewhat obsolete today, somewhat archaic. Like I said, these are some old-school concepts coming from Sigmund Freud, way back in the day. Let’s really define what the id, the ego and the superego are. How do we actually apply these old-school concepts from Sigmund Freud, back in the early 1900s, how do we take them and how do we make sense of them, and actually use them to help us today in our own lives to improve our self-control and our ability to be happy and successful. In this video I want to cover what these concepts are, and how they play in practical personal development. Let’s talk about the id, the ego and the superego. Hey, this is Leo from, and in this video I’m going to talk about id, ego and the superego.
