Your Brain Will Invent Fake Problems

Description

Dylan O'Sullivan captures a fundamental truth about human psychology - we're problem-solving machines that can't stop running. Shaan Puri expands on this insight with vivid examples: wealthy Hollywood actresses obsessing over tiny wrinkles, successful founders falling into depression after their exit. When we lack real challenges, our minds manufacture artificial ones, often focusing on trivial concerns. The lesson? We're happiest when climbing mountains, so choose your mountains wisely rather than letting your brain invent molehills to obsess over.
