Human brains are the source of endless fascination.
How and why do humans make the choices they do--including money choices?
A question the human brain obsesses about is, "Right here, right now, am I safe?"
I just recorded a podcast episode with my story about how the human brain answers this question. I recorded it for my community of parents of kids with OCD. However, I lay out the difference between the Paleo Brain--the brain as it was 300,000 years ago when our ancestors were hunters and gathers--and the New Improved Modern Brain with the prefrontal cortex.
When someone is concerned about safety--as are most people on this planet facing the ongoing challenges of COVID--the ancient Paleo Brain is most likely to be in the driver's seat driving choices. This is the part of the brain that responds to danger.
This is also the part of the brain that makes predictable money mistakes.
I'm hoping the podcast will give you some language to have meaningful conversations with your clients. Click here to listen .
Let me know what you think!
To your success,
