An Old Brian in a New World

In this chapter, our primary goal is to raise awareness about the nature of irrational beliefs and the stress they can generate. It's essential to understand that these beliefs often operate beneath our conscious awareness, subtly influencing our reactions and emotions in ways that can be counterproductive to our well-being and happiness.

We recognize that while our organizational culture, structure, and communication are principles many agree with and practice in daily life, the inherent challenge of human nature still looms large. We are beings with ancient brains, trying to navigate a rapidly evolving modern world, leading us to sometimes think and react irrationally. This irrational thinking can trigger emotions that, more often than not, contribute to the stress we aim to avoid.

By bringing these topics to light, we hope to set the stage for the subsequent chapter, where we will introduce strategies and solutions to mitigate these challenges. Our objective is to provide our team members with the knowledge and tools necessary to understand and manage their irrational beliefs and stress, fostering a healthier, more balanced, and productive environment at "Together The Winning Team."
