Weekend Conversations: Living Life With Perceived Scars

About this episode

Robert Glazer and Mick Sloan discuss a psychological study on perception and the impact of a grievance mindset.

On a new episode of Weekend Conversations on the Elevate Podcast, host Robert Glazer and producer Mick Sloan talk a fascinating psychological study from 1980 that reveals a lot about how we see the world, and the cost of having a mindset of grievance. Robert and Mick explore the importance of focusing on what you can control, leaning into your own agency, and not looking for perceived slights.
