How it works

1

Your brain makes your problems feel huge.

Whatever your biggest problems are, your brain makes them feel like the biggest problems possible.

2

Until it sees them next to bigger problems.

Your brain measures by comparison, so when it sees bigger problems, yours automatically feel smaller.

3

For basically all of history, people had way bigger problems.

War, famine, plague, disaster, hard labor. For most of human existence, that was life.

4

Spared uses history to make your problems feel small.

One session. That’s all it takes to put your problems back in perspective.

The fastest way to appreciate your life is remembering what you’ve been spared.
