Your podcast and your books have helped me so much looking at the world in a more objective manor towards myself included, its a work in progress but nonetheless big thank you!!!
Wow, so today my brain neurons were basically in a battle to make a decision whether to click on this video and watch it till the end-and I’m glad they did! 😄 Fascinating content!
Choosing between Ice Cream (sea salt caramel) and Broccoli is pretty easy, really...hehehe! Great Lecture. Since retiring from a 47 year career in Safety Services (High Risk Operational Environments), I have come to the neurobiology of human behavior to help me understand why military operators and law enforcement officers make poor decisions under duress. I find decision-making absolutely fascinating, and see why there is no "Free Will," even though we do make decisions...
@@egaaronp Always remember we do not REACT to external stimuli, we PREDICT how best to manage any situation based on past experiences being compared to this stimuli as operational simulations. It is changing our simulations that become painfully difficult, as our explicit and implicit memories battle for momentary superiority!
Hello Gud question ❓ when emotions are lost while deciding what to do? It's my City 🏙️ 9 th August 2024 People (trainee doctors) are capatalizing on this Politics So why people cry when Hindu temple laddu is made of adultrated ghee (animal fat fish 🐟 oil) It normal.. Best regards 😊
I have been paying attention to David Eagleman for at least 10 years. When he talks about drone pilots. No David is incorrect. It is commonly known drone pilots can have trauma from doing their duty. I wish he would have explained now these body sensations come too be.
Your argument that it is preferable to make emotional decisions over rational decisions is one heck of a claim and I don't think you've supported it to the degree required here. I think you are overstating how complicated rational decisions are or the difficulty involved in making a single decision. Lets use your example of choosing food off a menu for instance. How much easier would it be to make better food choices if menu's simply removed the name of the food you were ordering, and just listed the nutritional content instead? Much much easier because by doing so you are removing the emotional or body signals from the equation. In fact, employing a method of this is what you absolutely must do if you want to make better food choices - learn to completely ignore the messages of the body. The decision is not hard, and in fact is made much easier when just the facts of the matter are laid out before you. Maybe in split second, life-or-death situations emotions are needed, but I can't think of a single decision that can be thought of more than a few minutes that would be improved by cutting emotion and body signals out of it. If what you claim was happening with Tammy is what was actually happening with Tammy, then it would be impossible for even a normal person to make a choice based on a simple number alone, with no emotional component. It would be impossible to sit a person down, put two numbers in front of them, and have them select the larger number without any emotional or bodily attachment to that decision. Obviously that is not the case and we can all easily do this. Perhaps when Tammy is choosing flavor of sports drink, when the only factor is taste and all nutritional value is exactly the same and the only difference is a purely subjective one makes it harder for her, but in such cases, couldn't Tammy just decide that whenever an option of that kind is presented, they just take the first option every time? Anyway, I like your channel a lot.
I love all your information so much!! Thanks for shairing it with us! So cool!

I'm ex law enforcement & I have superb decision making under duress. I am however very bad at dealing with 'normal' bad stuff'.

Fantastic video. My decision matrix has always struggled between bourbon or scotch. Good to know why that is…
I'm excited for the second part !!! It was a great video❤
You are amazing. Thank you.
for the love of god David's social media person, please include a direct link to the website's show notes in the youtube description.
Alto,alto tus videos me tuersen el ceredro, hombre aguila
So how did Sophie make her choice? What body signals and what analysis influenced her decision about giving up one of her two children?
Free will comes here 😊
