The Mind's Tendency to Invent Problems

Description

Mark Manson points out that our minds need something to work on. If we don't have real, meaningful challenges to focus on, our brain will simply create new things to worry about. This is why we sometimes feel stressed or anxious for no clear reason. It's our mind inventing problems to keep itself busy. Manson uses this idea to encourage people to notice which of their worries are real and which are just imagined.
