So in your book you have a section about, uh, brain myths. So what are some. Brain myths as you're surprised to discover in your research. Well, the first one and I, I swear, I learned as a nice girl, my high school science teacher taught me that our brain stops growing somewhere around age 25, and now scientists proved that that's not true.

We continue to grow new brain cells well into our sixties and doors, seventies, perhaps even dark eighties. There's just not that 80 year old and 90 year olds around the test. So. Our brains can get G to grow. And, um, and also what also amaze me is this concept of being right brained or left brained. And it's not true.

We use both parts of our brain, not all the time or we'd burn our brain up. Right. Frankly. But, um, you know, for instance, you know, you and I talking today, language I had, I had left part of my brain. Listening to your words and translating your words. And then the right part of my brain is putting into context.

So both sides of my brain have to work together in order to have a conversation. Okay. Yeah. I think that a lot of times people use it in the term of left brain dominant, right. Brain dominant. Not necessarily that you're not using both, but there are people that are artists. And I am not one of those.

Those are people that can deal with putting words and ideas together, which is more of the thing that I'm, let's say reasonably competent at. I wouldn't say I'm great at it, but I'm reasonably competent. My mom would say I couldn't draw a straight line with a rulers. The other interesting meth, um, is, is, is, is actually true.  mindful leadership training - mindful leader meditation
