Streszczenie książki

Dr. Tara Swart is a senior lecturer at MIT Sloan and Kings College, London. She’s a neuroscientist and former psychiatrist and, as an executive advisor, she’s worked with many leaders in media and business. Previously, she coauthored the award-winning Neuroscience for Leadership.

Fred, a bank employee, often relied on spreadsheets to make logical decisions, yet he sometimes ignored his instincts, leading to choices that felt wrong despite appearing sound on paper. To help him, Swart introduced the brain agility model, a framework encouraging the use of six thinking pathways—emotional, physical, intuitive, motivational, rational, and creative. Within three months, Fred embraced this holistic approach, learning to trust his instincts and engage his entire brain. For example, encountering a friend with an engagement ring might evoke emotional warmth or envy, physical sensations of connection, intuitive awareness of her challenges, rational reminders of her job search, and creative visions of future milestones together. While this process often happens automatically, most people favor certain pathways over others, leaving some underused. By identifying and addressing these imbalances, it’s possible to develop a more versatile and balanced way of thinking.
