A Toolkit for Your Lazy Brain | Catharine Young | TEDxOronocoBayPark

We cannot live without it, but how often do we stop to think about how our brain really works? In this talk, TED Fellow Dr. Catharine G. Young, a trained Neuroscientist, shares why we are susceptible to falling for misconceptions and misinformation and provides three simple tools that everyone can start using to overcome these shortcuts. My talk is important to me because we need to learn how to navigate our world better.
You’d be surprised to learn that I have ridden an ostrich, swam with sharks, owned a horse, chased by a warthog, stalked by a crocodile, got my motorcycle license, been bridge jumping, had car racing lessons. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
