About this listen
You have to live with the thoughts in your mind 24/7. Choose them wisely, for your own sanity.
Have you ever tired yourself out and lost sleep because of constant worrying?
Have you ever stopped yourself from trying something because you were convinced you were going to fail anyway?
Were you ever on bad terms with someone because you jumped to conclusions without any evidence? If you answered ‘yes’ to any of the above, then you may be letting your thoughts get the better of you.
Every one of us has negative thoughts from time to time. It’s part of a healthy thinking process.
But when it starts to affect your life negatively, such as hurting your health, holding you back from your goals, or ruining your relationships, it may be a sign that negativity is taking over.
Negative thoughts can come in different forms. It could come in the form of overanalyzing everything and obsessing over an insignificant flaw. It can be an endless contemplation of “what if?” scenarios. Or it could be that inner voice that tells you you’re not good enough.
Whatever the message, the impact is the same.
If you let these thoughts live in your head, eventually they become habits that become decisions that ultimately affect your life.
Fortunately, your mind is more powerful than you realize. You can train yourself to resist these thoughts and replace them with more helpful ones.
That power is just waiting to be tapped, and here’s how…
In Understanding the Human Mind, here is just a fraction of what you will discover:
- How our thoughts directly impact our physical and emotional health, as well as our ability to make good decisions
- The survival instinct that was crucial for our ancestors, but now may cause more harm than good
- Why thinking negatively can be so addicting, even if it feels bad
- 4 small moves that can immediately change your mood and mindset, no matter what your situation

Story
Misinformation affects all of us on a daily basis—from social media to larger political challenges, from casual conversations in supermarkets, to even our closest relationships. While we recognize the dangers that misinformation poses, the problem is complex—far beyond what policing social media alone can achieve—and too often our limited solutions are shaped by partisan politics and individual interpretations of truth. In Misbelief, preeminent social scientist Dan Ariely argues that to understand the irrational appeal of misinformation, we must first understand the behavior of “misbelief”.

Our thought lives have incredible power over our mental, emotional, and even physical well-being. In fact, our thoughts can either limit us to what we believe we can do or release us to experience abilities well beyond our expectations. When we choose a mindset that extends our abilities rather than placing limits on ourselves, we will experience greater intellectual satisfaction, emotional control, and physical health. The only question is... how?

There are many ways of describing overthinking. It can be understood as a situation where one cannot stop worrying and thinking about things. Overthinking is not a disorder. It involves a fear that grows in you and overwhelms you, but you can’t help yourself but let it do so. In some cases, instead of crying it out, you simply opt to hold back your tears. It’s the fear of failure: failing at your job, failing a certain class, failing in your relationships.
