— The human brain is nourished, beyond oxygen and glucose, with Love (with a capital L). Love is a commitment, a connection with oneself and with other people, with society and the planet as a whole. Love overcomes fears, complaints, and boredom.
Valeria Teles interviews Silvia Damiano — the author of “Brain-Friendly Leadership: The 9 Habits Of A Future Fit Mind”
