Negativity bias is your brain's evolutionary tendency to weight difficulties more heavily than successes, which once kept you alive but now leaves your thinking distorted. Rebalancing your thinking requires deliberately pausing to register what's actually working, not to deny problems but to think clearly about the full picture.
Negativity bias is the brain's built-in tendency to register and dwell on negative experiences more strongly than positive ones, a survival mechanism that often causes unnecessary suffering in modern life.
Left unchecked, negativity bias distorts your perception of daily events and fuels anxiety and low self-esteem.
