Zoom Out: The Power of Putting Things In Perspective with Dr. Eric Bean
This solo episode explores how the way we see things (our perspective) affects everything from our daily interactions to big decisions and relationships. We’ll look at how optimists and pessimists view the world differently, the difficulty of seeing things from another’s point of view, and how we learn to understand the world around us.
Today we go beyond just positive thinking. We’ll discuss the idea of focusing on growth instead of just avoiding mistakes , and how finding meaning beyond ourselves can make a big difference.
Join us to learn how these strategies can help empower you to overcome challenges and approach life with a fresh outlook.
