Скачать или смотреть Is risk-taking the missing link in youth mental health?

We had a thought-provoking conversation with Donna Moss about a topic that's often swept under the rug: the role of risk-taking in youth mental health.

Conventional wisdom suggests that safety and caution are the key ingredients to mental well-being. But what if that's not entirely true? Donna argues that avoiding risks can actually narrow our world and lead to more depression and anxiety, especially among young people.

Think about it: when we avoid challenges, isn't it just another form of self-sabotage? By not taking risks, we might be closing doors to growth, fulfillment, and ultimately, happiness. It's a cycle that reinforces itself, making it easier to stay in our comfort zones and harder to step out.

So, should we be encouraging more risk-taking, more stepping into the unknown, as a path to better mental health for our youth?
