Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Things

In episode 401 of Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Things, we are back with our Wednesday segment where I chat with psychologists, therapists, neuroscientists and other experts on the science of personal growth. The month of April will focus on how to protect yourself from dangerous judgments and features Behavioral Economist & Cognitive Neuroscientist, Dr. Gleb Tsipursky. This episode is about losses vs gains. You'll hear Dr. Gleb start talking about a story and question about losses and gains and asks you to choose which option you'd pick, why most people tend to be loss adversed, why trying to protect ourselves from loss can cause us to make bad decisions, why we need to ask ourselves, what we would do in a repeating scenario, how this can work when applied to relationships and focusing on long term consequences and at what point do you decide to revise your decision and go a different direction with a change in mindset, skills or venue.
