We can't wait to start working on this. Everyone.Has.A.Brain...what can be a most valuable Human Resource for companies to help develop, nurture, nourish? 💡 💡 💡

Thoughtful & Mindful article ending with "if meditation is to be used as a wellbeing or therapeutic tool, the public needs to be informed about its potential for harm." -- Your take?

New edition of SharpBrains e‑newsletter, discussing this time four important topics—social engagement, wearables, inattentive driving, bilingualism and the brain— and sharing an update on a bold new initiative to help women leaders in career transition. Buen Camino!

Fascinating findings and example of transfer to important real-world outcomes -- "the number of collisions and near collisions they experienced in the year following training was also reduced by approximately 25%. It is likely that this occurred because training resulted in their taking fewer long glances away from the road." https://lnkd.in/gcp_jfT5

What matters most with social interactions – quantity or quality?

Good to know! Also great call on the need for standardisation and more/ faster research, since "less than 5% of the consumer wearables that have been released to date have been validated for the range of physiological signals they purport to measure."

Gracias Tower of Babel :-) Buena entrevista sobre cómo la práctica continua, más allá del aprendizaje de un segundo idioma, es clave para maximizar los beneficios cognitivos del bilingüismo./ Good interview on how continued practice, beyond learning a second language, is key to maximize the cognitive benefits of being bilingual.

Some good reading to empower our minds, get past procrastination, navigate cognitive enhancers, and more. Enjoy!

Perfectionism often contributes to procrastination, as leaders and contributors at all levels fear not achieving perfect results. By reframing challenges as opportunities to make progress and to learn, rather than to prove perfection, we can “break free” from counterproductive thought patterns.

Wise words: "Too much negative news consumption does no one any good; it blinds us to the good things going on in life, giving us a skewed view of the world and making us feel helpless. While we shouldn’t put our heads in the sand, either, we need to balance our over-attention to negative stories with a deliberate focus on what’s going right."
