When Life Feels Uncertain—The Science Behind Assessing Risk


Listen Later

The human mind does not assess risk very accurately. Our emotions and preconceptions often color our ability to understand the most relevant factors. On this episode of PeakConnection, Dr. Toni Brayer, one of the San Francisco Bay Area's most respected physicians, discusses what we should consider when assessing risk of Covid-19 infection, when it comes to family, friends, colleagues or employers, and how to maintain our physical and mental health in the process.

"...if there's anything that this pandemic has taught us, it's that there are no guarantees. We know this, life is filled with uncertainty. So we take the information that we have and we try and make ourselves as safe and certain as we can...Focus on what you can control because if there's anything this COVID virus has taught us is that we don't have control over life. The only thing that's certain is uncertainty, right? Things change, we can't predict day-to-day, but there are things that we can control."--Dr. Toni Brayer
