This podcast explores the science of positive psychology and the impact of belief on our lives. Using a Harvard OpenCourseware lecture as a foundation, we examine how our thoughts, environment, and explanatory styles shape our reality. We discuss the importance of self-efficacy, realistic optimism (the Stockdale paradox), and practical techniques like updating mental schemas, focusing on controllable factors, and cultivating gratitude to build resilience and achieve goals. https://keys-bet-qmo.craft.me/pxDBa6zRHliRm7
