[7] Brains @ Work. What's happening in our brains when we work

With Jean Gomes. Neural and cognitive sciences made some
remarkable breakthroughs in the last years when it comes to
understanding how the brain actually works. We talk about some of
the new insights, e.g. why the brain’s predominant purpose is NOT
thinking, but the focus of this episode is on understanding
better what’s happening in real-world working situations. We talk
about the effect of hierarchies on our brain, why we sometimes do
not speak up although we dissent, and what conflicts do to our
brains. But we also share some practical hints like when is the
best time to tune into your body and brain or what to do in
stressful situations.
