The Psychological Trap Millions of Americans Are Living Inside

Why endless exposure to fear, outrage, and uncertainty may be training the very states people are trying to escape.

Author’s Note

If this article isn’t worth the price of an entire annual subscription...

...then none of them are.

Because hidden inside what you’ve just read is a distinction that has the potential to change the trajectory of a person’s life.

Some people will read this..nod…and move on.

Others will realize they’ve spent years rehearsing experiences they desperately wanted to escape.

And a small number of people will apply it.

Those people may never look at anxiety…fear…self-doubt…anger…or even political stress the same way again.

I’ve watched seemingly impossible changes occur when people stop obsessing over the content of their problems and start changing the state from which they’re experiencing them.

For some readers, this article will simply be interesting.

For others, it will become one of the most valuable things they’ve ever read.

The difference won’t be the article.

It will be what they do with it.
