This podcast delves into how our perspective can dramatically alter our experience of obstacles, transforming them into opportunities for growth. Drawing from Harvard's positive psychology course, we explore self-fulfilling prophecies, the power of visualization, cognitive therapy (the 3Ms of irrational thinking), and the importance of focusing on benefits rather than faults. We examine real-world examples and practical techniques—cognitive therapy, gratitude, and mindfulness—to cultivate a benefit-finding mindset and build resilience.
