Your Brain at Work (Brain. Instruction for use)
Next week, as part of the next issue of Code of Leadership, I'll be discussing David Rock's book.Your Brain at Work" This book provides insights into how our brain works. The first edition of the book came out. 15 A few years ago, it was translated into Russian asBrain. Instruction for use".
Approximately. 15 years ago I came to Google TechTalks. And he told Googlers his ideas about the brain. There he focused on 4 Interesting thoughts:
- The rational is overrated
- We've got emotions backward
- Social issues are primary
- Attention changes the brain And then I started spinning them around. 50 minute:) But in this talk, the author was not attached to the book itself.
That's why I recommend more. short sammari books in the form of animationIt's a very cool way of telling the metaphors of the author from the book, where our short-term working memory is represented by the stage for the actors, our prefrontal cortex is the stage director, our long-term memory is the audience members, and so on. And the five main tasks that are performed on the stage of such
- Understand
- Recall
- Memorize
- Inhibit
- Decide Well, within the framework of this metaphor, there are three properties of this theater that we need to know.
- The scene is small. (Few items are placed in memory)
- We have one projector. (One element can be kept in focus without losing data.) The director becomes less effective as the day progresses. (Our prefrontal cortex gets tired and we lose the effectiveness of focusing on the main thing.)
P.S. I liked the book. It is written simply and consists of chapters where One of the two characters gets into normal situations when things don’t go according to plan. - Then there's a little theory.
- further shows how this theory would help the hero solve the problem better
As a result, this simplicity allows you to imagine yourself in the place of the characters and try on standard problems and evaluate the elegance of solutions using the author’s advice:)
