Whether you’re a mom, or a CEO, you probably live and work in a multi-tasking environment.
Your hunter/gatherer brain is the centre of everything you do, but it is not made for this culture.
We are forcing our brains to do many things they are not meant to do, with the result that we are experiencing decision fatigue, brain fog, forgotten appointments, lost keys, sleep deprivation, sickness, absenteeism, and a variety of other challenges.
In our world of increasing knowledge and technology we need to use our brains more than ever. Our success, as individuals and collectively, depends on a brain that you can rely on today, and tomorrow.
