Your brain is remarkable. It processes more information per second than any computer ever built. It learns, adapts, creates, and connects in ways that science is still only beginning to understand.

Scientists call it negativity bias. And the research is clear: bad is stronger than good. Negative events register faster, hit harder, and stay longer in the brain than positive ones of equal intensity. Not because bad things actually matter more. Because for most of human history, bad things were more urgent.
