Why Being Wrong Helps You Get More Out of Life

Nobody likes being wrong. It feels like losing. So we defend our thoughts - even the ones quietly costing us the most. In this episode I'm making the case that your willingness to be wrong is one of the most underrated skills you can build. Not positive thinking. Not slapping a nice feeling on top of a real fear. Something far more useful - and far more accurate. I share the thought that nearly stopped this podcast from existing at all, what the research says about how badly we predict our own futures, and the one line you can say back to your brain when it hands you a worst-case scenario. Plus a small experiment to run this week. Fair warning: you might be right. But my money's on you being wrong.
