Imagine you just had the best day ever. You had a major win, everything went your way. You’re floating on cloud nine. But then maybe a coworker said something to undermine your success – just joking, they said, although sure didn’t sound like it. Suddenly all the elation evaporates. One negative remark has the potential to completely derail our happiness. One negative incident outweighs ten positive things.

In this final episode of season 1 of the Changemakers Field Guide, I examine this tendency to fixate on the negative – and insights on how we can flip the script. This episode concludes a series on dealing with people, exploring some insights from neuroscience on how we cultivate healthier relationships. Making the effort to forge better connections pays off tenfold: helping us collaborate better, make a bigger impact, and enjoy better physical and mental health.
