In today’s video, I’m taking an unconventional approach to understanding international trade and economic policy through the lens of personal psychology and mindfulness. As a hypnotherapist and personal development coach, I’ll show you how fear-based decision-making affects both international trade policies and our personal lives, using the current 25% tariffs on aluminium and steel as a timely case study.

Ever wondered why countries make economic decisions that seem to hurt themselves? I explain how emotional reactions and fear-based thinking can lead to self-defeating policies, whether in international trade or our personal lives. You’ll discover why tariffs often achieve the opposite of their intended effects and how this mirrors our own behavior when we’re operating from a place of fear or hurt.

Drawing on my experience in Switzerland, home to CERN and numerous multinational companies, I explain how global cooperation and clear thinking lead to innovations that benefit everyone—from creating the World Wide Web to quantum computing advances that power smartphones. I’ll also show you how knee-jerk reactions and protectionist policies can hinder this progress, both on a global scale and in our personal lives.

You’ll learn practical strategies for better decision-making, including a simple breathing technique to move from reactive thinking to thoughtful response. This video isn’t just about understanding economics—it’s about recognising patterns of fear-based decision-making in your own life and developing tools to make better choices.

Whether you’re interested in international trade, personal development, or understanding how psychology influences economic decisions, this video offers insights into how we can break free from fear-based thinking and create win-win situations in business and life.

Watch to the end to learn how mindfulness techniques can help you make better decisions during stressful times and why looking beyond simple narratives is crucial for economic understanding and personal growth. I also share thoughts on how growing inequality influences our collective decision-making and what we can do about it.
