The Nocebo Effect | Ep. 36

Author: Self-Actualization Above The Line January 2, 2024 Duration: 10:51

There are two areas I think are unrepresented when it comes to becoming the best possible version of ourselves….and they are related.

The first is Priming. Priming is a real challenge because it operates below our consciousness. It is also very pervasive and can completely change a person’s perspective. The book Influence took a good look at this in the 1980’s and now the author’s follow-up book ‘PreSuasion’ really shines a light on how much priming can help us or hurt us.

Since it operates at the unconscious level, and the unconscious is so quick compared to the conscious mind, we need tools to mitigate the adverse impact and leverage the beneficial aspects. That’s what the next few videos are about.

The second overlooked area is Cognitive Biases. When I was thinking about how to tackle these two topics, I realized that cognitive biases are a result of us being primed. Normally, I like to go to the root but since the unconscious is involved, in this case, I think it is more useful to illustrate the problem and solution in the context of cognitive biases.

Hosted by Self-Actualization Above The Line, Transformation After 50 is a conversation for those who suspect their best chapters are still ahead. This isn't about quick fixes or superficial change; it's a deep, practical exploration of what it means to truly live "above the line"-that self-imposed ceiling on our potential for health, wealth, love, and overall happiness. Each episode delves into one of the '7 Fitness Areas', a framework that moves beyond the physical to examine the mental, emotional, and strategic muscles we need to develop. You'll hear candid discussions and actionable insights focused on navigating second acts, reinventing careers, and cultivating a richer personal life. This podcast operates on the core belief that the upper limits we perceive are largely imaginary, and that profound growth is not only possible but can be strategically pursued. It’s for listeners ready to challenge their own set points and unlock a more expansive version of their lives, finding that transformation is a continuous, engaging process. Tune in for thoughtful guidance that blends education, business acumen, and personal management, all aimed at meaningful self-improvement.
