In this episode, we’re talking about the “chimp brain”. It’s a nickname for our limbic system which urges us to make decisions emotionally. It’s a weird evolutionary hangover that can sometimes get in the way of our human brains making actual progress.

So how can we control this side of our mind? And what are the benefits of being able to recognise when our chimp brain is speaking to us? HoP and HoB meet up to chat about it.
