From the course: Your Brain at Work (Blinkist Summary)
The key components of optimal brain function
- [Narrator] You've just heard our Blinks to "Your Brain at Work" by David Rock. The key message of this book tells us it's a common misconception that if you aren't delivering your best work, you should simply try harder. Often, however, the brain just needs more fuel and rewards to keep going. The reason for this is that your brain gets tired and distracted easily, and is strongly rewarded by status, certainty, and control. So for your brain to work optimally, it helps to eliminate day-to-day distractions, find out ways to have more choice and autonomy in your life, and most importantly, train your ability to reflect on your thinking.
