5 habits that hurl you into the gap
 
 
AND WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT
 
 
There is no natural division of brain and body, so why do we talk and behave like these are two separate things?

These fractured truths threaten our ability to think accurately about ourselves, strategies, and influence.

HOW DO WE LEARN TO PLAY NICE?
 
 
Cooperation is an essential organizing and survival attribute for many organisms. Human beings cooperate to live, work, and exist in groups. We form tribes with a guiding membership rule: be loyal to one's tribe and disdain those not in your tribe. Watch any sports match, and the behavior is on full display. Tribalism, however, conflicts with cooperation. With divisions growing wider, what now?
