Why You're Not As Broken As You Believe
When something terrible happens in your life, are you destined to fall apart? Or might your mind be built for something more remarkable than you've been told? In this video, we explore three decades of research from Columbia psychologist George Bonanno. His work overturns nearly everything our culture believes about how human beings respond to grief, loss, and tragedy, and reveals the hidden cost of carrying around a script that says you're more fragile than you actually are. ____ Hidden Brain, hosted by me, Shankar Vedantam, is finally on YouTube! Like my podcast, this new video series will explore the unconscious patterns driving human behavior, our choices, and our relationships. ____ FIND HIDDEN BRAIN ONLINE Website: https://www.hiddenbrain.org/ Instagram: / hiddenbrain Facebook: / hiddenbrain Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/hiddenbrain....
