Quick takeaways

  • Our brains tend to accumulate negative judgments more quickly than positive ones, making us more judgmental as we get older.
  • Visualizing desired behavior and rehearsing and training our brains to react with acceptance and curiosity instead of judgment can help us become more kind and accepting in various aspects of our lives, not just in our interactions with people.

Deep dives

Negative emotions are more powerful than positive emotions

Our brains tend to pay more attention to negative experiences, which can lead to accumulating negative judgments more quickly than positive ones. This tendency can make us more judgmental as we get older. For example, one bad experience at a restaurant can dissuade us from ever visiting again, even if we've previously had several good experiences at the same place.
