Listen "Thinking on Confidence & Feelings of Success, Failure and Achievement"
Episode Synopsis
What leads to you feeling successful ? Are they the things the same things that lead to you feeling confident ?
This week, we continue the discussion from Episode 3, “Cognitive and Emotional Experiences & Models for Failure,” and discuss what events in our lives have led to feelings of confidence, how other people’s perceptions of us and those events influenced the feelings of confidence, and whether those events were a success or a failure.
We illustrate this with some personal anecdotes, and briefly gossip about Adam Neumann and Mark Zuckerberg.
Also discussed in this episode are Matt Levine’s newsletter, Money Stuff, optimism bias, as discussed in the book Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman, the wo men podcast, and the healthyGamerGG YouTube channel.
Theme music is by Steve Combs, available here: https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Steve_Combs/Steve_Combs_Premium_Preview_EP_1325/06__Steve_Com
