Listen "154. "Bad is Stronger than Good""
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Steph discusses the profound impact of feedback—both positive and negative—on our daily lives. She emphasizes how our brains tend to focus more on negative experiences, often overshadowing the positive. A University of Pennsylvania study was aptly titled "Bad is Stronger than Good" because of this finding. By understanding this tendency, we can take proactive steps to give and receive feedback more effectively, fostering a healthier mindset and improving our interactions with others. The conversation highlights the importance of maintaining a positive feedback ratio, to give away positive feedback, compliments and praise, and encourages listeners to reframe their perceptions of daily experiences.Chapters00:00 The Impact of Feedback on Our Lives03:45 The Power of Positive Feedback08:11 Reframing Negative Feedback09:57 Taking Control of Our ExperiencesSign up for "The Impact Effect" newsletter at stephsaffer.com
