8 minutes

Selina Iddon introduces the episode by delving into the basics of social media algorithms, drawing parallels to our mindset and emotional well-being. She highlights how these algorithms can influence our thoughts and feelings, and emphasizes the importance of identifying our personal "algorithms" to shift from a mindset of lack to one of gratitude. The discussion moves to the transformative power of kindness, illustrating how it can positively impact both our mindset and interactions. The episode concludes with closing remarks, summarizing the key insights, and a farewell message.

Algorithms run our experience of all social media, phone games, youtube and internet by Google, Facebook etc inspecting what we visit and look at, working out what we and our friends are interested in and then showing us more of it, so a curiosity can soon turn into being bombarded with like topics until all of a sudden it is showing up everywhere.
This episode explores the similarity to Algorithm programmes written by these companies to the Algorithms for some emotions programmed in our brain.
