    The human brain uses up more than 20% of the energy we consume for just 2% of our bodyweight. That leads to internal competition for resources and all kinds of ‘shortcuts’ to save time and energy, some of which are less than useful, now that we are no longer living in small groups of hunter-gatherers. These shortcuts can lead to flawed decisions in all aspects of our lives, at home, at work and at play. Flawed decisions, taken just because of the way our brain works, can have disastrous results at home and at work. The good news is that we can do a lot about it. We can master our mind so as to better control our actions and our reactions . Sir Jackie Stewart, the famous Scottish F1 racing driver, famously said: winning is not enough. You have to master your mind, so that you stay alive.
