John R. Miles – Why Your Brain Dictates Your Reality and 5 Ways to Boost It. | Brought to you by Trade Coffee (https://drinktrade.com/passionstruck) and Babbel (https://babbel.com/passionstruck).
How to build a brain you will cherish
In this episode of Passion Struck with John R. Miles, I use the true story of Phineas Gage to illustrate the remarkable resiliency of the brain which functions as a big computer. Every day of your life, your brain produces hundreds of choices that shape your perception of the world. The brain processes information that it receives from our five senses and sends information back to the body.
These choices govern our every thought and action, from what to eat, what to wear, whether to pick up a call, what career path to choose, etc. The brain-wide fights for dominance that rage in your skull every second of your life give rise to who you are. However, the brain is much more complex than a machine. It is the root of human intelligence and that is why your brain dictates your reality.
Our behaviors are most likely the result of a complex interaction between our genetic makeup, brain chemistry, functioning, and the economic, social, and psychological contexts in which we grew up and lived.
