You’re not at your best when you’re stressed. In fact, your brain has evolved over millennia to release cortisol in stressful situations, inhibiting rational, logical thinking but potentially helping you survive, say, being attacked by a lion. Neuroscientist Daniel Levitin thinks there’s a way to avoid making critical mistakes in stressful situations, when your thinking becomes clouded — the pre-mortem. “We all are going to fail now and then,” he says. “The idea is to think ahead to what those failures might be.”

Hello My name is Omina I am from is Uzbekistan
This started out well, learning about preparing for stress. Then suddenly it’s about the effectiveness of statin drugs.
Who needs to hear this. If you find this information helpful. You are lost
overthinking with a purpose in layman's terms, then?
The comparison of risks and benefits is deeply flawed. The risks and benefits presented for statins are not fairly weighted. One in 300 chance of preventing a life-changing, debilitating event like a stroke or heart attack vs one in 15 chance of experiencing a non life changing event that resolves with medication discontinuation.
I’d expect so much more from
A neuroscientist, but unfortunately, this is not the first time TED talks have let me down.
Yea did not help 'clickbait'
Comments around photographing and emailing your ID / credit cards is extremely bad practice, to the point this should be censured. You cannot blindly say things like that without thinking, having your bank account emptied or identity stolen is far worse than losing your keys. This nieve speech is making that very possible. Do not follow that advise
But thinking ahead will make you overthink of different scenarios that might happen which will rob your attention from the most important thing at hand. It's more stressful, I think.
The topic was more informative about medicines.
How to not be stressed: try to predict every possible thing that could go wrong in advance.
What?????
I needsd this.
I thought he was trying to stress us out with the medical stats to make a point at the end….. unfortunately he was not.
This message is a bit weird though, you only get stressed about things your not prepared for and he’s ensuing if we prepare for things we won’t be stressed but the philosophy isn’t very practical. I can’t prepare for every possible medical or financial situation ahead of time. I’m not sure if I’ve missed the point on this one but it doesn’t seem like practical advice.
I don't like to be calm because I hate silence and video games with the rules strictly rewritten on paper.
This? helps? I'm stressed even more thanks.
can anyone tell me that what is the genre of this topic
It’s important to recognize all of us are flawed but it might lead us to negative choice.
I would love to be less stressed
Never have more than two homes for an object so It is always in only one of those two places. Lost me at the medical care. You are a victim no matter what you do.
The military fall scilly receive because end compellingly worry upon a gamy nut. breakable, shocking tuesday
Those squirrels deserved better
Conclusion: you need to overthink everything you do before it’s too late
The example related to the keys is not a good example because you cannot do a pre-mortem in that situation.
Many people, throughout their lives,
love themselves more than anyone else.
The more we love only ourselves,
the lonelier we become.
The more we love other sentient beings,
the more blissful we become.
