Episode notes
Brain As A Predictive Storyteller
- Our brain predicts the future by turning past events into stories that guide behavior.
- This predictive storytelling is adaptive until those stories begin to limit action.

- Trying to mentally "edit" past memories rarely changes future behavior.
- The brain's emotional imprinting keeps old reactions intact despite revised mental narratives.

- Use chosen actions now to write new future chapters, not mental revisions of the past.
