Think you’ve got a good handle on what’s dangerous? Take my three-question quiz in this episode and prepare to be surprised.

Join me as we unpack:

  • Why your brain is wired to overestimate rare threats
  • How news and social media manipulate your attention with the "triple threat" formula: Negative, Novel, and Emotional
  • How relentless exposure to worst-case scenarios is subtly programming you to live in defense mode.

But don’t worry—You’ll also learn:

  • How to “retrain” your brain to perceive the world more accurately
  • Why consuming news is like eating dessert (and what your psychological vegetables should be)
  • Simple practices that can reset your emotional baseline and lower chronic anxiety
