Psychological immune system means that bad things aren't as bad as we think, but it still feels like the worst possible thing you imagine happening. Another trait that i've seen emerge in almost all of my guessand i've seen kicking for me psychologically is to irresistibly want to build stories out of our experiences. And this is true irrespective of religious beliefs, spiritual beliefs, right? I find this across the board, you know, believers and non believers alike.
New episodes of A Slight Change of Plans coming every Monday starting October 11th!
Maya joins Dr. Laurie Santos (host of The Happiness Lab) to talk about how we can reframe the change in our lives and learn to fear it less; and also how we can inspire far greater changes in ourselves than we ever thought possible.
Maya and Laurie also take a few listener questions.
