<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1344877/open_sms">Send us a text</a>In this third in our 4-part series where we review 4 of the recent books that have made an impact on us, we explore David Eagleman's inspirational 'Livewired' book from 2021. From new ways of looking at why we dream, to how we can maintain our problem-solving and decision-making skills, this brings a fresh and empowering way to view intelligence and what it means to be smart. Rather than intelligence being 'hard-wired' in as being something you have or haven't got, this focuses on how our brain changes and reshapes every day based on the information it is processing and the sensory data it is processing.  Actively seeking opportunities to learn and develop is not only good emotionally for our confidence, identity and mindset - but neurologically too,  as our brain creates new neural pathways and strengthens the popular pathways and prunes away the unused ones. In fact, daily reflection is a way to influence your memory stores as it is a way to recode random moments into purposeful events. The brain stores what is perceived as valuable  - indicated by the amount of times it is recalled. The more fresh info we can it, the more balanced and healthy that 'real estate' is. Just like introducing solids to a toddler, the wider the palate, the safer and easier a diet later. What are you to learn this week? Just because.
