Are you broadcasting on a frequency that no one is tuned to? 📡 Discover why high intelligence often creates a "Logic Gap" that kills your influence. I’m breaking down the neuroscience of the rTPJ and how to boot up your brain’s "Social Flight Simulator." 🧠🏗️

In this lesson, we dive into the groundbreaking research of Dr. Rebecca Saxe (MIT) (Saxe & Kanwisher 2003) to explore Theory of Mind—the brain's ability to "read" what others are thinking. Most high-achievers fail here because they rely on logic when they should be running a social simulation.

What you’ll learn:

Emotional vs. Cognitive Empathy: Why leaders need data, not just feelings.

The rTPJ: The specific brain region responsible for understanding others.

The Flight Simulator: Why your brain shuts down perspective-taking under stress.

3 Pre-Flight Questions: The diagnostic tool to manually fire up your Temporo-Parietal Junction before high-stakes meetings.

🔎Dive into the Scientific Research:
