Understanding Predictive Processing and Happiness
This chapter explores the theory of predictive processing, emphasizing the brain's role as an anticipatory engine that reconstructs reality based on prior knowledge. It examines the implications of this theory on mental well-being, particularly in relation to happiness and the distortions of reality in conditions like depression and PTSD. The discussion highlights the disconnect between personal beliefs and emotional experiences, urging a reevaluation of how we perceive our feelings in relation to actual experiences.
