Le voyage de l'esprit humain | Prince Kumar | TEDxCUH

Cet exposé de psychologie examine si une seule pensée peut déterminer si un revers nous abat ou nous fait grandir. Il décrit comment les pensées internes se transforment en émotions, puis en traits de personnalité durables. L'orateur s'appuie sur la neuroplasticité et la logothérapie de Viktor Frankl. Selon lui, chacun réagit différemment au même échec selon son évaluation cognitive de la situation. Le talk a été donné lors d'un événement TEDx organisé de manière indépendante.

• Du passage des pensées aux émotions, puis aux traits de personnalité
• Neuroplasticité et logothérapie de Viktor Frankl
• Capital psychologique : espoir, auto-efficacité, résilience, optimisme

What if the difference between being defeated by a setback and thriving after one simply comes down to a fleeting thought? Speaking from a psychological perspective, this talk explores how our internal thoughts transit into emotions, which eventually harden into our defining personality traits. Drawing on the concepts of neuroplasticity and Viktor Frankl's logotherapy, the speaker illustrates how different individuals react to the exact same failures based on their cognitive appraisal rather than the event itself. The central idea is simple: while we cannot always control the challenging situations we face—including health crises or exam failures—cultivating Psychological Capital (PsyCap) through hope, self-efficacy, resilience, and optimism gives us the ultimate freedom to choose our response and overcome adversity. Prince has qualified several prestigious national and institutional competitive examinations in Psychology, including NET-JRF (2021), GATE (2022), DUET Ph.D. (2022), UP-PGT (2021), DSSSB EVGC (2023), DRDO Scientist ‘B’ (2023), and UP Assistant Professor (2025). His core strength lies in advanced psychological insight, with a keen ability to interpret implicit meanings, identify underlying patterns, and understand human behaviour.
