In this episode, I again "go solo" to talk about some of the "default strategies" our brain likes to use and why these strategies get us into trouble in a VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) world. I cover the following topics:
Our brain as a "giant survival organ" Our brain is constantly trying to reduce chaos and unpredictability It tries so conserve calories! It wants to validate its stories/models of the world It is addicted to seeking small pleasuresI also show how these "habits of mind" are misaligned with what is needed from the VUCA world.
