Spiritual Bookshelf Episode 58:How to Fail the Right Way and Live a Better Life – Part 1
Hi friends, how’s your week going? Welcome back to the show — I’m Phillip.
Today, we’re diving into something none of us can avoid. It follows us from childhood all the way into adulthood. It shows up at work, in relationships, in our daily decisions… and sometimes even when we’re trying our very best.
I’m talking about mistakes.
Human beings genuinely dislike making mistakes. And that dislike isn’t just because of how we were raised or what society expects from us — it’s actually rooted in biology, neuroscience, psychology, and even evolution.
So in today’s episode, we’re going to look at mistakes from scientific, psychological, and evolutionary angles.
✦ Why do we hate making mistakes so much?
1. Neuroscience: Mistakes literally “hurt”
When you make a mistake, a region in your brain called the ACC — the anterior cingulate cortex — lights up.
And when it lights up, it activates your brain’s “pain network.”
This isn’t just emotional discomfort. Your brain interprets mistakes as real, physical pain.
2. Evolutionary Psychology: In the past, mistakes meant death
3. Social pressure: Mistakes = shame
4. Childhood experiences: We were punished for mistakes, not taught through them
5. Cognitive bias: Mistakes feel like an attack on our identity
✦ But in science, mistakes are gold
People often think science is about accuracy. Actually, science grows because of mistakes.
Here’s what four major fields agree on:
(A) Neuroscience: Mistakes trigger the learning system
When you make a mistake, your brain:
1.releases ERN → instant warning
2.activates the ACC → change your strategy
3.uses dopamine → reinforce the correct adjustment
The process is literally:
mistake → brain alert → strategy shift → learning success
Without mistakes, the learning system never activates.
(B) Cognitive psychology: Real learning requires trying and failing
(C) Behavioral economics: Mistakes reveal our blind spots
(D) Management science: No mistakes → no innovation
✦ So how does your brain use mistakes to make you stronger?
The “mistake → growth” mechanism looks like this:
1.ERN — detects the mistake before you even realize it
2.ACC — shifts strategies so you don’t repeat the error
3.dopamine — rewards your brain for the corrected action
✦ Five scientific truths about mistakes
If we summarize everything, it comes down to five sentences:
1.Mistakes activate the brain’s learning switch.
2.Mistakes deepen memory and understanding.
3.Mistakes expose flaws in your mental models.
4.Mistakes stimulate improvement and innovation.
5.The safest place to make mistakes is a supportive environment.
Science doesn’t say “avoid mistakes.”
Science says: Make mistakes — the right way.
So as we wrap up today’s episode, I hope you can walk away with one mindset shift:
Don’t run away from mistakes. Learn to make them well. Let mistakes become:
a teacher, a mirror and a compass pointing you toward improvement
Wishing you peace and joy this week. Take care, and I’ll see you next time.
