#4 - Navigating Expectations and Prediction Errors

  • Summary

  • This episode focuses on the concepts of “Expectation” and “Prediction” and how our minds are wired to anticipate outcomes and navigate the reward and punishment pathways. We explore the intricacies of how expectations shape our experiences, the satisfaction or dissatisfaction that arises from meeting or missing these expectations, and the mental and emotional consequences of prediction errors. Using vivid examples and personal stories, I illustrate how our brains continuously strive to balance predictions and reality, driving our behaviours and influencing our emotional states. Listen in to discover how to manage expectations and better understand the brain’s reward system.
