Train Your Brain for Success: Sonali Mangal of L.E.D. Interviews Jim McCarthy

Research tells us that a typical human being’s thoughts are roughly 80% negative. A person’s “negativity bias” is bad for their relationships, their career, and their health. I addressed this challenge recently with Ms. Sonali Mangal, who is a Product Strategist at a leading Silicon Valley company. She also runs an outstanding podcast called “Learn Educate Discover” (LED), whose purpose is to help you “Discover what you were meant to do.”

In this video interview, we talked about how you can overcome this negative bias through affirmations. In many of my workshops on positive thinking and goal setting, participants learn science-based practices to keep positive and focused on what’s really most important.

I think you’ll find affirmations to be very powerful. I know they’ve helped me a lot. Let me know what you think!
Thanks, Jim
