The Resilient Mind · Why the Best Decisions of Your Life Will Look Like the Worst Ones First - Dr. K (Healthy Gamer) · 27 May 2026 podcast

This is right.

This is wrong.

Sit in your chair, study for your test, put your plate away, you know, make sure you hang your towel up after you shower.

So you're sort of you get all of these influences from the outside telling you what to do.

And then if you look at a child's brain, it's very responsive to feedback.

So if everyone says, good job, you feel really, really great.

And if everyone says, bad job, we see this with trauma, that shapes you as well.

So our motivational structure when we're children and teenagers...

Basically is to make the people around us happy.

That's why teenagers are so vulnerable to peer pressure because we become acutely aware that people are judging us.

It's really – being a teenager is so terrifying because if you kind of think about it, you didn't realize that like when you're a five, you don't realize that people –

are going to judge you and will have these lasting judgments.

What I do today is going to determine how they treat me a month from now.

So the second that we hit puberty, our brain starts to change.

Those kinds of circuits in our brain start to develop.

We become hyper aware of this.

So the first phase of our life is exactly what you said.

Like, I want to make it.

I want to be I want to get the girls.

I want to make money.
