KEY TAKEAWAYS

• First principle thinking is the art of boiling things down to the most basic principles possible. It's about stripping ideas back to their core and simplifying the process to achieve them.
• Our businesses run on the brainpower of people, but the issue is that many do not completely understand the brain itself. By empowering this knowledge, we edge closer towards our objectives.
• Habits range from 100% of what we say and do, down to 98% of what we think and do. Most of what we do is mindless, automatic behaviour.
• Better sleep, better diet and better levels of exercise are the foundations of allowing people to be at their best. Stress management, confidence habits and better leadership habits will follow.
