0:00.0	A lot of us these days, myself very much included, feel really uncertain about the future.
0:05.1	There are new reports every week about the jobs that AI is going to impact, and I have friends who
0:09.4	have been dealing with layoffs. I have friends who don't know what to tell their kids to study
0:12.9	in college. The future feels really uncertain, and uncertainty is scary. There's a study that's
0:19.4	fascinating that basically says that people would
0:21.3	rather get a guaranteed electric shock than not know whether they were going to get an electric shock.
0:27.5	We prefer a future that feels certain, even if it is worse. This is why so many people end up staying
0:34.2	in bad relationships or staying in terrible friendships or staying in terrible jobs because that certainty is so comforting for this incredibly primal part of our brains.
0:44.3	Regardless of how you or I might feel about AI, it is very clear that the world is changing

1:11.0	science is already pointing to being the most helpful in this ever-changing world. Today we're
1:16.0	going to go through all three of those things and I'm going to share the science behind why they
1:19.4	matter and how you can cultivate them no matter where you are starting from, no matter how
1:23.8	your brain naturally works. All of this works no matter what your job is.
1:28.7	They transfer across domains and industries, and also they are very relevant for our personal
1:33.3	lives too.
1:34.2	Welcome to the Liz Moody podcast where we are not going to add a million things to your life
1:38.0	in the name of biohacking or being healthy.
