The School of Greatness

Description

Dr. Ethan Kross is a social psychologist at the University of Michigan who wrote the book Chatter. Overthinking turns small, useful doses of negative emotion into chronic stress, and stepping back from a problem makes it possible to engage with it calmly. Topics include distant self-talk, temporal distancing, co-rumination, Solomon's Paradox, the Batman effect, stress reappraisal, plus research on awe in nature and on rituals.
