#11 How to Use Your Brain with Neuroscientist Henning Beck

We may marvel at the precision and efficiency of computers, wishing our brains operated in much the same way. We’d remember everything perfectly, we’d never feel bored or get distracted, we’d have laser-like focus, we’d be on all the time….

But not so fast, says our guest, neuroscientist Henning Beck. Henning is a writer, speaker, consultant and author of the forthcoming book “Scatterbrain: How the Mind’s Mistakes Make Humans Creative, Innovative, and Successful.” He says what we perceive as our brain’s “flaws” are actually the things that make us uniquely human and in some ways more capable than computers. We spoke about how the human brain actually works, how tech companies are using our distractibility against us and what we can do to use our brains in the most productive way possible.
