If we can't forget traumatic events but can modify our emotional response to past events, can the changes to a person's character following an event also be reversed or altered? For example, if someone who was once very positive and engaging returns from war or suffers the loss of a parent/spouse and becomes guarded and distant, how much of our 'character' is malleable? Or can people truly become 'stuck in their ways'? This question also relates to the episode "Richard Koch — Revisiting the 80/20 Principle And Much More | The Tim Ferriss Podcast" and the clip "Overcoming Toxic Beliefs."
