broke through in 1998 when scientists from Ohio State University proved the theory of negativity bias, i.e. the brain reacts more strongly to negative input than positive . Thus, our mindset is more at the whim of bad news than good.
This ties to our caveman/cavewoman days where the brain helped keep us out of danger. The problem is, this bias makes negative things seem more negative than they really are. And, to make matters worse, what we've evolved to is you move way too quickly past your successes and pound yourself into oblivion on your failures.
