Lesson 3: Use screens to filter irrelevant information

Apart from stressful situations, sometimes associations are forged so deeply in our brain that it’s hard to turn them off. Even though we might know they’re wrong.

For example, you might expect every Asian to be good at math , Fortune 500 CEOs as tall, white men, and good singers to be beautiful. That last one comes from the music industry. They artificially push a singer’s visual image during performances, on album covers, and in music videos. Until we start believing all singers to be beautiful.
