Anne-Marie Slaughter: I've learned how universal the psychologies we can recruit are in the face of very diverse changes. If you're a cancer patient, you might actually find the most resonance with the person on my show who is going through a divorce. She says uncertainty and change were the motivations for creating a slight change of plans; she also finds those two things extremely stressful. Slaughter: We reliably underestimate just how resilient we will be in the faceof a change. In the moment, it's hard to get your emotions to appreciate that.
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.
