Reactive vs Responsive Mode

Psychological Modes in Decision-Making: From Reaction to Response 

     This vodcast explores two contrasting psychological approaches to decision-making: Reactive Mode and Responsive Mode. Reactive Mode is described as a fast, emotion-driven state where individuals seek immediate relief from discomfort—illustrated by Will Smith’s impulsive Oscar moment. In contrast, Responsive Mode highlights the transformative power of pausing, encouraging thoughtful, values-based decisions aimed at long-term outcomes, as seen in Captain Sully Sullenberger’s calm response during the “Miracle on the Hudson.”

     The episode emphasizes how shifting from reaction to response reframes challenges—not as threats to endure, but as opportunities to grow. It offers practical strategies for making this shift, such as recognizing emotional triggers and creating space to reflect. Ultimately, it champions responsive living, grounded in personal values even during adversity, drawing inspiration from Viktor Frankl’s profound insights on meaning and choice.
