Dr. Wayne Pernell explains why your brain treats discomfort like danger. It generates self-sabotaging stories to keep you safe, and smarter people are better at inventing reasons not to act. Push through anyway.

Chapters

Here's the thing. Yeah. Anytime that we're gonna do something different, uncomfortable, putting ourselves out there in a way that makes us feel the least bit vulnerable, because it's whatever it is, whether it's something dramatic, like you're quitting a job, or something less dramatic, like you're gonna put your poem out on social media, let's say. So anytime your brain senses any kind of discomfort, it goes immediately to fear. Why is that? Because our brains have evolved for survival, not goal achievement. So what happens? We have this idea, we want to do something, but it makes us feel uncomfortable. We go into fear mode. And our brains will come up with all kinds of reasons why this is a terrible idea. And the smarter you are, and the more creative you are, the better you'll be at coming up with these bullshit stories about why you shouldn't do that thing.
