#113. The zero-sum thinking trap
from Evolve & Elevate · host Zama Mthombeni
In this episode, we explore zero-sum thinking the belief that life operates on limited space, where one person’s gain means another’s loss. Grounded in its roots in politics and economics, this conversation moves beyond theory to examine how this lens quietly shapes how we interpret success, relationships, and even failure. Through everyday reflections, we unpack how life becomes something we manage rather than experience and what it means to begin seeing differently.
