Exhilarating Disruptive Revolution
If you are not disrupting your industry, someone else will be?

Myth-busting
People resist change because they believe in myths science has disproven.

Myth 1: Brain is fixed &immutable
fMRI takes a peek into the brain
Findings:• Brain structure is not fixed
• It is a ‘plastic’ mouldable structure
This means:• We are more flexible than we think
• We can adapt to change
![Page 6: Why personal intelligence](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062903/58a138f21a28abd34f8b6835/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
If you don’t use it ...
Our brain is refreshed and stimulated by newness Perhaps we need to fear predictability (boredom) rather than change
![Page 7: Why personal intelligence](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062903/58a138f21a28abd34f8b6835/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Myth 2: Genes determine our lives
Scientists agree: Genes X Environment (creates infinite possibilities)
Nature vs Nurture (a futile argument and a limiting myth)
There is no such thing as pure genetic determinism
![Page 8: Why personal intelligence](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062903/58a138f21a28abd34f8b6835/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Freedom to choose
Our lives are not dictated to by the contents of our ‘jeans’ (or our genes ). We have more freedom than we think.

Myth 3: Personality is fixed
![Page 10: Why personal intelligence](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062903/58a138f21a28abd34f8b6835/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Thoughts ‘wire-up’ the brain
Memes (units of social conditioning) soft-wire the brain and we get into the habitof behaving according to who we think we are – this we call our ‘personality’.
![Page 11: Why personal intelligence](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062903/58a138f21a28abd34f8b6835/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
You are not your brain
Not all memes are true, neither are they necessarily useful.We don’t need to believe every thought (meme)
that meanders through our brain.

Myth 4: You can’t trust feelings
![Page 13: Why personal intelligence](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062903/58a138f21a28abd34f8b6835/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Mood: the emotional habit we’re in
Emotion: the life-giving system that runs the traffic between our brain and body. Feelings give us important feedback about our wellbeing (our energy levels)
![Page 14: Why personal intelligence](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062903/58a138f21a28abd34f8b6835/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Happiness is mood stasis (balance)
Stormy moods are warning lights – emotions tell you what is threatening your happiness?
![Page 15: Why personal intelligence](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062903/58a138f21a28abd34f8b6835/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Brain follows what feels good
Any activity used to soothe unhappyfeelings can become an addiction:arguments, shopping, tv, junk food, social media, complaining, gambling, procrastination, needing to be right ...
![Page 16: Why personal intelligence](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062903/58a138f21a28abd34f8b6835/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Unfelt emotions >>> addiction
Addiction (defn): something you can’t stop
New research shows howyou can break free

Myth 5: The ‘law of attraction’
‘If our thoughts had the magnetic power to attract material goods and/ or money our heads would stick to large metal objects like our cars or refrigerators.’
Barbara Ehrenreich: Scientist & Author of Bright-Sided How the Relentless Promotion of Positive Thinking Has Undermined America
![Page 18: Why personal intelligence](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062903/58a138f21a28abd34f8b6835/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The brain likes shortcuts
Shortcuts such as ‘magical thinking’ appeal to our energy-efficient brain but ...
![Page 19: Why personal intelligence](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062903/58a138f21a28abd34f8b6835/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Magical thinking is de-motivational
Techniques to ‘manifest’ success use the energy needed to get on with the task or challenge.20 years of research into starry-eyed day dreaming shows you do worse when you use magical thinking.

Myth 6: Multi-tasking is efficient
Multi-tasking usually means doing everything half-heartedly

Myth 8: Live your passion ...
... and the money will follow
![Page 28: Why personal intelligence](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062903/58a138f21a28abd34f8b6835/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Passion helps but ...
"I play tennis for a living even though I hate tennis,
hate it with a dark and secret passion and always have.“
Andre Agassi,
eight-time Grand-Slam champion & still considered one of the greatest
tennis players of all time.
Greatness is produced by sweat,persistence, grit, mental strength,
and dogged determination.

We are our habits
Perception = thinking habits Mood = emotional habitsHealth = physical habitsPersonality = behavioural habitsWellness = all the above habits rolled into one

Good news
Our habits were programmed in and with persistence anddetermination we can re-programme (or rewire) these habits
and keep reinventing ourselves.
