In this episode we're taking a look at some cutting edge research from McKinsey and the World Economic Forum on "the brain economy" —the idea that brain health drives economic performance. This validating and perhaps overdue research reinforces what many of us already know intuitively through lived experience, but encourages us to reflect. What does your body need? What truly relaxes you? Taking time to answer these questions may feel counter-productive, but may be essential for sustainable high performance.
