In today's episode, we are looking at how we remember certain experiences, and WHY we forget certain parts of an experience and yet lay huge emphasis on others.
Once we've looked at the neurological / psychological biases we all have - you are not alone!! - I share my top tips and methods for changing the way we think about our past experiences, and how we might go into new experiences in a more positive frame of mind.

4-8 - A major experience that illustrates how we can view experiences, based on the main events within them.

14-18 - Everyday examples of how the peak-end rule comes up in real life.
18-21 - Repeated events: why I hate the dentist! How previous experiences sway how we go into repeat experiences. The theory of 'confirmation bias'
21-25 - Why am I more likely to remember negative events of confirmation bias?
