What I Discovered by Trusting People Again

In this clip, Dr. Jamil Zaki gets into how cynicism is a mental trap we often fall into and explore ways to break free, drawing inspiration from the teachings of Pema Chodron. By treating life as an experiment and taking small, calculated risks in our interactions with others, we can gather better evidence to challenge our cynical beliefs. Dr. Zaki shares a personal story from his teaching experience at Stanford, where he noticed how easy it is to focus on one piece of negative feedback while overlooking the positives. This leads into the concept of "encounter counting," where we consciously record our interactions and compare expectations with reality, helping us shift from an overly pessimistic outlook to something more accurate and hopeful.
