Manage episode 495817587 series 3614708
Most of your life is actually going fine but your brain doesn’t care.
It’s wired for survival, not happiness. That’s why it clings to stress and negativity while ignoring peace and joy. If you don’t understand this bias, it can quietly sabotage your decisions and relationships.
🔑Key Takeaways:
- Your brain is wired to remember danger, not dinner
- Media profits by triggering your fear—and your body pays the price
- Fast emotions keep you alive, but slow thinking helps you thrive
- The more negativity you consume, the more distorted your reality becomes
- A daily gratitude list can reprogram your brain toward positivity
In this episode of Second Thoughts, Dr. Roger Hall unpacks the science behind the negativity bias and how to take back control of your thoughts and emotions in a fear-based media landscape.
