I'm not saying that we should "just think positive", but I do know that in my prior career I was bombarded by negativity & my health suffered. My attitudes have softened since leaving & I am glad. Life may not be exactly as I had hoped, but it's good when I really think about it.

Is Negativity RUINING Your Health?

Are we really as DIVIDED as Online Hate would lead us to believe?

Have we got the episode for you, and just in time for a stressful U.S. Election Season! 💫

Did you know that being a cynic might be doing serious damage to your body and mind? 🤔 Dr. Jamil Zaki (@zakijam - Stanford psychology professor, Director of Stanford Social Neuroscience Lab, author of HOPE FOR CYNICS) is here to explain the shocking ways Negativity affects your Brain 🧠, how your TRUST ISSUES are messing with your Health, and proven methods to FIGHT OFF Negativity & BOOST Empathy!

He reveals practical tips for coping with political discourse, the HIDDEN DANGERS of raising kids in a fearful world, how the news, social media, and politicians use negativity to control us, and why cynicism kills creativity and how to revive it. 🎨

Dr. Zaki also breaks down 🌟:

- How our negative perceptions of people & the world can cause anxiety, depression & isolation

- The REAL reason cynicism and skepticism are NOT the same
- How negative thoughts could be physically warping your brain

- Tips for teaching kids mindfulness to combat negativity

And just in case the idea of "blind optimism" makes you itchy, Dr. Zaki details the difference between "toxic positivity" and hopeful skepticism.

@missmayim I just watched a good chunk of the interview. After working in a prison as a therapist for 11 years, it did a number on me, for sure. Being bombarded with negativity from every direction was awful for my health.
