PDP - Ep180 - Prey Mentality vs Predator Mentality

- Almost all animals are both predator and prey at some level
- Define Predator and Prey for discussion
- It’s important to understand that neither of these mentalities are good or bad, they have benefits and downsides

- Prey Mentality
- Food doesn’t run so they often don’t pursue
- Anxiety - prey animals move away from anxiety or go on high alert
- Stress - prey animals avoid stress if at all possible and are more negatively affected
- Goals - may pursue a goal if absolutely necessary, but generally wait for what they need or accept what is available

- Predator Mentality
- Food runs, so it’s natural to pursue
- Anxiety - look for and hunt those with anxiety, their weakness is an opportunity
- Stress - will push into stress somewhat creating a stress inoculation reaction
- Goals - pursue what they want and are willing to deal with stress and anxiety to achieve it

- What is the best way to think about how to deal with problems?
- Play - Life is a series of games
- Every problem is an opportunity in disguise
