Quotes for Thinking

I very rarely think in words at all. A thought comes, and I may try to express it in words afterwards.

Albert Einstein

Im a great believer that any tool that enhances communication has profound effects in terms of how people can learn from each other, and how they can achieve the kind of freedoms that theyre interested in.

Bill Gates

Technology is nothing. Whats important is that you have a faith in people, that theyre basically good and smart, and if you give them tools, theyll do wonderful things with them.

Steve Jobs

Machines might give us more time to think but will never do our thinking for us.

Thomas J. Watson Jr.

Introduction
Why T.H.I.N.K.?

Y oure lucky. Youre not living one hundred years ago when your only choices of communication were a meeting, letter, or telephone call. We are very fortunate to have many means of sharing information. Imagine, you can post your thoughts to the world, Facetime with someone halfway around the world, and send an e-mail to millions throughout the world. Electronics have empowered us with astounding communication tools, which have immensely improved how we interact and thrive. Can we use these tools better? The answer is yes. We know more today in neuroscience and psychology about how we work to improve how we work . How can communication nirvana be achieved? The answer is not found looking forward to the futurethe answer lies in taking a step backward before BC.

We havent changed much. Whats the difference between you and our primitive ancestors? You wear better clothing and shoes and, of course, you bathe with soap! According to anthropologists, the human brain has not changed in more than 100,000 years. How your brain operates today is comparable to the way our courageous ancestors did. What is the most interesting aspect about our likeness to them? Its the reality that the human brain and body are built foremost for survival, not happiness.

Surviving and thriving today. As Maslows hierarchy of needs states, when our physical (air, water, and food) and safety needs are met, we are then allowed to experience our wants for love and belonging, self-esteem, and self-actualization. Unlike our ancestors, for most of us, our physical and safety needs are often met, resulting in our continuous focus on love, self-esteem, and self-actualization. Though, regardless of whether our needs are met, underneath our loincloth or suit, we are foremost a primitive being who is always in survival mode. In other words, our ancestors instinctive traits will always take precedence in our daily actions.

Our great similarities. Weve all heard about our fight or flight similarity with our hardy ancestors; of course, we share much more. Additional key attributes we have in common with them are a sophisticated alert system for protection, a body designed for physical activity, eyes for seeking food or predators, and an extremely powerful gratification system. Though you no longer use your alert system to protect yourself from predators, your physical skills to run from them, your eyes to seek out wild beasts, or a gratification system to search for foodyou still operate the same way. As were our brave ancestors, we are on continuous alert, highly visual and physical, and seek gratification all day long.

Accepting and working with our ancestors attributes, whether these traits are a limitation or advantage, empowers us to live and work better.

Youre on continuous alert. As with our ancestors, our brain is unable to manage more than one communication task at a time, and its unable to shut off its sophisticated alert system unless were asleep. What impact do these two traits have on us today? The Internet and electronics challenge us not only by presenting the opportunity to multitask communication, but also by alerting us when someone wants our attention. Unfortunately, the reality is we cant multitask communicationand when we try, according to research, we increase our error rate by 50 percent. Though our extraordinary alert system served us well when we needed to be aware of dangerous beasts, alerts from electronics are toying with this system. Intrusive alerts are challenging our ability to stay focused, which is affecting our decision-making, productivity, and well-being. Even if weve met all the needs on Maslows hierarchy, we are still unable to control the fact that our brain is on constant alert status; in other words, were wired to worry. Imagine this scenario: youre with your loved one enjoying one others company immensely, yet when you hear a sound alert from an electronic, you cant help but wonder, who can it be?

You love to be physical. Look at those legs, arms, and torso: youre meant to stand, run, walk, and talk. In fact, when asked in a survey, participants said their top activities were making love, working out, and talking. Staring at a screen, reading message after message, switching screens, and multitasking creates unnecessary stress. Research has proven that exercise helps us feel better physically and mentally. Furthermore, conversation is our third favorite activity. What do people like to talk about most? Ourselves, of course!

Youre highly visual. Like our keen ancestors, we bond through reading body language, which helps us guess at the hidden emotions that are vital in communicating. Research has confirmed this fact with hundreds of studies on body language. When you are speaking in front of others, youre providing the audience with your bodys powerful and unconscious cues. Therefore, when we communicate via telephone or messaging, these key cues are not visible, which alters the exchange of information. And, even though a virtual meeting is better than a phone conversation, studies have proven that meetings are far more productive when everyone is in the conference room.
