This chapter explores how our past experiences, fears, and desires create a filtered version of reality, leading to poor decisions. It emphasizes that our perception is not reality and how past traumas and beliefs affect our judgment.
Perception is not reality; it's a filtered version shaped by past experiences.
The brain is a prediction machine, using past experiences to predict the future, which can lead to self-sabotage.
Past pain creates future fears, causing us to avoid opportunities or cling to unhealthy situations.
