Why Do We Develop Inaccurate Thinking Habits?
Humans seem compelled to explain the world around them
Often we do not have complete information
Number of explanations is high
We develop short cuts in our thinking

Increasing the Accuracy of Our Explanations
Ask three questions:
1. Who is to blame? Consider multiple causes
2. How long will it last? Be realistic, consider your capacity to adjust
3. How much of my life will be affected? Think about areas of your life that will be affected

Putting it In Perspective
Seligman’s Six Questions:
1. What is the worst thing that can happen?
2. What is one thing I can do to help stop the worst thing from happening?
3. What is the best thing that can happen?
4. What is one thing I can do to make the best thing happen?
5. What is the most likely thing that will happen?
6. What can I do to handle the most likely thing if it happens?
