Overpowering Your Lizard Brain - Seth Godin

Complete Premium video at: http://fora.tv/partner/BizTechDay

Author Seth Godin argues that one of the main barriers to innovation is the "lizard brain," the primitive part of the human brain adapted for survival. He explains that the lizard brain "loves being a cog in the system" because it's safer than doing something foreign and untested.

-----

The system is broken and the system needs you. Are you indispensable, capable of making a difference, doing work that matters--or are you a compliant cog in a machine that cares little about you? Seth Godin, entrepreneur and bestselling author of Linchpin wants to sell you on doing art, standing out and getting what you deserve. - BizTechDay

American Way Magazine calls Seth Godin "America's Greatest Marketer," and his blog is perhaps the most popular in the world written by a single individual. His latest book, LINCHPIN, hit the Amazon top 10 on the first day it was published and became a New York Times bestseller.

more ppl in america were killed by other ppl than shakrs or deers

[AtheistKharm]

I think the whole deer vs shark thing is dumb. Sharks don't accidentally collide with your car and deer don't mistake you for food when you come into their habitat.

The biggest flaw of the white race is our undersized lizard brain, and it will likely be the death of us. We can build machines that take us to the moon, but without this basic self preservation instinct we will die.

The reason phones aren't allowed on planes now they've determined they don't interfere with communications is because the airlines don't want twats like you yapping away the whole flight.

@AtheistKharm so you should share this idea on your [popular] blog now

[RedJoe10]

More people are killed by toasters than sharks. In fact according to British statistics you're more likely to be killed by your trousers than a shark.

what a moron

[drgahlot]

it is evident that most people who have commented here are either monkey brained, shark brained , deer brained or reptile brained.that is why it has provoked them to respond with denial.it is like neo telling people in the matrix that it is illusory, and the people on the other hand assuming that neo has gone insane.most of you live in the matrix and get provoked when someone tells you that.sorry
