Misjudging Minds: The Happiness Trap of the Fundamental Attribution Error 🧠
Description:
Why do we often assume the worst about others—but give ourselves a pass? That’s the fundamental attribution error, and it can quietly drain our happiness. In this episode, Manuel shares a personal story about how choosing to see the best in others has been a key to his joy—and how naming this mental habit can help you find more peace, empathy, and flow in your own life.
Key Takeaways:
✅ We often blame others’ actions on their character, not their situation
✅ This creates disconnection, frustration, and unnecessary judgment
✅ Manuel has always looked for the good in people—and it’s kept him joyful
✅ Naming the bias helps us shift from reaction to reflection
✅ More empathy = more flow and more happiness
