This psychological phenomenon shapes not only our perception of the world but also the choices we make every day.

But it goes deeper than fear; it affects how we interact with others, our decisions, and our lives. 

Join John R. Miles as we uncover the profound impact of Mean World Syndrome on your mind and behavior and discover how to reclaim control over your thoughts and choices. Are you leading your life, or is Mean World Syndrome leading you?
