In fact, the brain research community tells us, we actually have “two brains,” seamlessly managing their respective functions to […]

Should We Rethink?

How do we become open to challenge our beliefs and assumptions? JJ Abrams gives a hint into how he is able to think anew so that he can create new movies and characters that move us. “I never go into anything with a template for how it should or shouldn’t be.”

This powerful article provides a unique perspective on how self-awareness, seeking honest feedback from loving critics, […]
