Designing Your Life — Captain's Log

Trust your gut but don't ask it to speak

Have you ever had a decision to make and didn’t trust your gut and regretted it later? According to the book, “Designing Your Life: How to Build a Well-Lived, Joyful Life” by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans, the best decision-making part of the brain is in the old brain and it has no connection to the part of your brain that controls vocabulary! The decision making part of the brain is connected to your guts. IE: a gut decision is a real thing.
