Tackling Negativity: Eric Zimmer's Response to a Harsh Review

The single most important step is recognizing that split-second shift where we remember that we have a degree of control in where we focus our attention and how we interpret a situation is where the action is.
Ever wondered why negative comments stick with us more than positive ones? In this engaging mini-episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer takes a deep dive into the concept of negativity bias, using a one-star review as a starting point. Zimmer doesn't just brush off the critique; instead, he uses it to explore why our brains are hardwired to focus on the negative and how we can break free from this mental trap.
He shares personal reflections and practical advice on how to recognize and manage these negative thought patterns. One key tool he introduces is the RAIN process—Recognize, Accept, Investigate, and Non-Identification—which offers a structured approach to dealing with troubling thoughts. By the end of the episode, listeners are left with actionable steps to rewire their brains towards a more positive outlook.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand and combat their own negativity bias, offering both empathy and practical solutions.
