How you can make your disruptions positive

Available for over a year

Cancelled trains or political and economic turmoil - when things happen beyond our control, how do we react psychologically? Not well, usually. We don't like uncertainty. We tend to avoid a change to the status quo, almost at all costs. But are there cases when a bit of disruption has benefits? Michael Blastland and psychologist Nick Chater explore how your behaviour in the face of disruption could change your experience. First broadcast on The Human Zoo, 19 July 2016.
