Think about the last time you had a discouraging thought. Maybe you told yourself, “This won’t work. I’m not cut out for this.” Did you take that thought as fact? Last week, we talked with psychologist Martin Seligman about why some people come to believe that their actions don’t matter. In the second part of our conversation, he explains how we can strengthen our sense of agency, learn to see new possibilities, and build confidence in our ability to shape what happens next.

Why do some people act on the possibilities before them, while others come to believe that nothing they do will make a difference? Psychologist Martin Seligman describes his groundbreaking research on learned helplessness, and explains how the stories we tell ourselves about setbacks can shape what we do next. We also explore how optimism can help us rediscover our ability to change things for the better.

Today's @HiddenBrain is very good, comparing and contrasting the #immigration issues of today with the history. <a href="http://www.npr.org/series/423302056/hidden-brain" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-link="bsky">http://www.npr.org/series/423302056/hidden-brain

I could have sworn I started listening to a #HiddenBrain podcast episode the other night, which began with the DB Cooper story on the plane, and now I can't find it. Does it ring a bell with anyone?

Oh this episode of @HiddenBrain captures perfectly the role of therapeutic listening in medicine. Worth a listen.

Of course i say this as someone who is now an expert on the Rwandan genocide and the 25 years since because I went to a museum and spent a few days in the country. @HiddenBrain

Interesting podcast re: Rwandan soap opera. Im hesitant to read as much into the study as the study operators did though. A lot of the interpretation the study makes is based on snapshot of societal changes that have been made over 2 decades. @HiddenBrain

Respect and gratitude for the folks I know and love who engage the daily news of politics, but this episode of @HiddenBrain does a great job explaining why I can’t do it.

I read (on my own pace) and research and vote. That’s my max.

Important! Great podcast. We consistently underestimate rates of failure across domains. And we over advertise success. this means we are missing many learning opportunities. Failure helps us improve! We should try to fail more thanks ⁦@HiddenBrain⁩ ...

“Action as a collective is the essential thing.” It makes us feel impactful, it has social contagion of hope and joy, it’s more fun, and it counters loneliness. An important episode for the moment thanks ⁦@NPR⁩ ⁦@HiddenBrain⁩. Please share!...
