About this listen

After a setback, it’s easy to fall into the hindsight bias, telling ourselves "I knew this would happen." This isn't just unhelpful; it's a cognitive distortion that reinforces feelings of hopelessness. We'll explore why our brains create this false sense of predictability and how to counteract it. You'll learn to analyze setbacks with genuine curiosity, extracting valuable lessons for the future instead of using them to confirm a negative story about your past.
