Why does success sometimes feel strangely uncomfortable?

In this video, we explore The Prediction Error Gap — a powerful psychological concept that explains why your brain may react negatively to your own achievements.

You’ll learn:

What the Prediction Error Gap really is

Why success doesn’t always bring happiness

How your brain’s reward system works

Why achievement can feel empty

How to align expectations with reality

How to stop sabotaging your own wins


If you’ve ever reached a goal and thought, “Is this it?” — this video will change how you understand success forever.
