Positive thinking can look an awful lot like old-fashioned denial
Is positive thinking always a good thing? Eric Zimmer, host of 'The One You Feed', takes a closer look at this question in a thought-provoking episode. Reflecting on his own skepticism towards relentless positivity, Zimmer dives into the fine line between optimism and denial. Using personal stories and the Stockdale Paradox, he illustrates how an overly positive mindset can sometimes lead to ignoring reality. This episode isn't about dismissing positivity but about finding a balance.
Zimmer shares insights from his life and career, emphasizing that while our thoughts shape our reality, unchecked optimism can blind us to real challenges. If you're curious about how to stay positive without losing touch with reality, this episode offers valuable perspectives.
