Killing Complacency

Hello everyone and welcome to this week’s episode of the Human Behavior Podcast. 

For this episode we are defining a term that you’ve likely heard before called Complacency. We’ve all heard the saying that “complacency kills” or had someone tell us not to get complacent but I don’t ever hear anyone defining what complacency actually is! So, for this episode, we are defining complacency using four powerful cognitive processes that affect all humans which are Adaptation, Change Blindness, Channel Capacity, and Sequencing. 

During the episode we define each one of the elements that make up complacency and we talk about why complacency exists, how it affects us, when it affects us, and we give some very simple ways to help counteract the brains natural tendency towards complacency.

Thank you so much for tuning in, we hope you enjoy the episode and if you want more you can check out our Patreon channel where we have a lot more content as well as subscriber only episodes of the show. If you enjoy the podcast I would kindly ask that you leave us a review and more importantly, please share it with a friend. Thank you for your time and don’t forget that Training Changes Behavior!
