Final Word

In conclusion, our minds can be overprotective and deceive us in various ways, we know logically that spiders can’t really kill us, especially if we live in England where there are no poisonous species.

Yet people can fear the worst-case scenarios, there’s no logic to our phobias because we are all emotional beings we believe our emotions such as fear much more than logic.

Remember, our brains are powerful tools, but they’re not infallible. By being open and receptive to different ways to change our minds we can make better decisions that avoid prediction errors.

Know one thing, you can change.
