Why You Trust Fear More Than Your Own Potential - E204

from Makes Sense - with Dr. JC Doornick · host Dr. Jean Claude Doornick

In 2001, psychologist Roy Baumeister tried to find one situation where good news outweighs bad news of the same size. His team couldn't find a single one. Their paper became one of the most-cited in psychology, and the conclusion was simple: bad is stronger than good. That's not pessimism — that's how your brain is wired. It's why one criticism can outweigh ten compliments, and why 'what if this fails' can drown out every reason it might work. So today, we're asking: what if the real problem isn't fear itself, but how much more trust we hand it?
