Let The Evidence Update The Story

We all carry stories about ourselves, other people, and the situations we're in.

The problem is that once a story feels true, we can start interpreting new evidence to protect it. Research on belief updating shows that people can sometimes evaluate evidence differently depending on whether it agrees with what they already believe.

This episode is about letting reality have a say in the story you're telling.

Maybe the person isn't who you thought they were.

Maybe the situation isn't as bad as you believed.

Maybe you were wrong.

And maybe changing the story isn't losing—it’s learning.

What evidence have you been ignoring because it doesn't fit the story?
