Joined Up Thinking
At a time of existential global challenges, we need our best brainpower. How do we create genius environments, help our brains flourish and boost group thinking?
Neuroscientist and bestselling author of The Science of Fate Hannah Critchlow joined the Intellectual Forum on Friday 7 October, discussing her new book, .
She showed us how two heads can be better than one, electrified our minds with brain synchronicity, and explored the power of intuition.
Almost everything we've ever achieved has been done by groups working together, sometimes across time and space, she argued. Like a hive of bees, or a flock of birds, our naturally social, interconnected brains are designed to function best collectively. New technology is helping us share our wisdom and knowledge much more diversely across race, class, gender and borders. And AI is sparking a revolution in our approach to intelligent thinking - linking us into fast-working brain-nets for problem solving.
Hannah Critchlow showed us all the tricks to help us work best collectively - how to cope with wildly differing opinions, balance our biases, prevent a corrupting force, and exercise our intuitive ability for the most effective outcomes. She shared compelling examples of success, at work, in families, and all team situations, and showed us how to work, play, and grow with intelligence.
