Under stress, your brain defaults to fear responses from the amygdala instead of rational thinking from the prefrontal cortex. The speaker describes a systematic way to shift that pattern and how companies use it to help employees think more strategically when pressure hits.
People will say, what about, you can say epigenetically, you can change your genes. You can change the way you think. Yes. But in high stress states, you default. And that default is the key because you default into the amygdala and that amygdala is now holding onto this default pattern. What we're trying to do is I'm trying to design evolution for humanity to sit and say, how do we go from the amygdala to the prefrontal cortex? Is there a systematic path and process that allows humans to evolve, to get more rational thinking, more strategic thinking, more focused thinking? Yes, absolutely. When I work with companies and corporations, they're asking me to get their brains from the amygdala to the executive center to optimize and evolve the brains of everyone else so they're not stuck in fear. That's what this whole process is designed to do.
