We had the pleasure of hosting Professor Art Markman on the Spirit of EQ podcast. We had an insightful conversation on psychology, decision-making, and the importance of mental wellness. Here are three key takeaways from our episode:1️⃣ "It depends" is the answer to many complex questions in psychology. Our decision-making process is heavily influenced by our motivational system, and whether it's beneficial or not depends on whether our current motivation is aligned with making the best choice.2️⃣ Emotions play a crucial role in decision-making, especially when it involves understanding people and complex situations. However, when reliable data and projections are available, relying on emotions may not be necessary.3️⃣ Mental health should be prioritized alongside physical health. We need to promote routine practices that support mental well-being, just like we do for maintaining physical health. Exercise, reframing perspectives, and building strong personal relationships are essential in achieving overall wellness.Art is the Annabelle Iron Worsham Centennial Professor of Psychology, Marketing, and Human Dimensions of Organization and Vice Provost for Academic Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin.

Time to rock that BRAIN this week, and we could probably all use it with waht's going on in the world right now.... the virus, the shelter in place orders.... How are we coping and how can we maximize this time for our minds? The podcast is in four segments, and here’s this week’s breakdown: Segment 1: Rock Your Life with Amy: Amy explores what we can do with this time we've got on our hands, the habits we can build, the surrender that we are asked to make now, and how paying attention to our sleep can impact our brains. And Amy gets personal this week with a reframe realization of an issue she's had her entire life. Segment 2: The Interview: Art Markman, Ph.D. of Psychology and Professor at UT, author of several books including Smart Thinking and most recently, Bring Your Brain to Work, and he has the podcast "Two Guys on Your Head." Art is great at explaining how our brains function at times like we are currently experiencing. We cover motivations, emotions, habits, how not to make a decision about what we are “supposed to be feeling” right now, what we can do to leave work when we are working from home, and so much more. And what's most important right now? He says, "Take the time to rethink. Do I want to do things differently while I have the chance? [This time] is a really great chance to rethink the way that we interact with the people that are closest to us and to make that better." Learn more about Art HERE. Segment 3: Go Aff Yourself with Jill Faulkner of stickwithit.co. This week Amy and Jill talk about the effect that affirmations have had on our brains over the years of doing them; subconscious negative patterns of thought that we may choose because they are familiar; and Jill has a big aha! moment. This week’s Aff is: I Work With My Brain. Segment 4: BYOBBB -Build Your Own Brand, Biz + Brain with Bijou Finney: Bijou and Amy both have had cases of zombie brain; they cover sales in the time of coronavirus and how to focus on the clients you already have; how our brains work with choice; and ultimately, this week's grand takeaway about reframing and how we can work to find the good in any situation.

Art will discuss why he says the path to success runs through cognitive science, why the word "success" is a problem because it is a noun, what the 3 phases of the job cycle are, why following your passion may not be the best advice, and how understanding the "recruiter's brain" can help us get a job.
Open plan offices, hot-desking, group brainstorming sessions: collaboration seems to be king in the modern workplace. Recent studies have found that we are spending up to 80% of our working days either in meetings or dealing with requests from our colleagues. But is working together really the best way? Is the idea of collaboration something we're fetishising at the cost of productivity and creativity, and have we lost sight of the benefits of working alone? Nastaran Tavakoli-Far shares her own dislike of the BBC's open-plan office and asks, in some desperation: why should we work together? Guests: Art Markman, professor of psychology and marketing at the University of Texas at Austin, and author of Bring Your Brain to Work Kerstin Sailer, reader in social and spatial networks, The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London Susan Cain, author of Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking John Maeda, global head of design at Automattic Image: Workers in an open-plan office (Credit: Getty Images)

Art Markman is the Annabel Irion Worsham Centennial Professor of Psychology and Marketing at the University of Texas at Austin. He is also the Founding Director of the Program in the Human Dimensions of Organizations. The HDO program brings the humanities and the social behavioral sciences to people in business. Art’s research explores thinking. He has studied the way people form and use analogies, the mechanisms of decision making, the modes that allow people to form categories, and the influences of motivation on reasoning. Art is also the executive editor of the journal Cognitive Science and is a former executive officer of the Cognitive Science Society. If you’re in a job interview, how should you think about the mindset of the interviewer? If you’ve just been promoted, how do you handle the tensions of managing former peers? And what are the telltale mental signs that it’s time to start planning your next career move? We know that psychology can teach us much about behaviors and challenges relevant to work, such as making better decisions, influencing people, and dealing with stress. But many popular books on these topics analyze them as universal human phenomena without providing real-life, constructive career help. Bring Your Brain to Work changes all that. Art Markman focuses on three essential elements of a successful career–getting a job, excelling at work, and finding your next position–and expertly illustrates how cognitive science, especially psychology, sheds fascinating and useful light on each of these elements. To succeed at a job interview, for example, you need to understand the mindset of the interviewer and know how to come across as exactly the individual the company wants to hire. To keep that job, it’s critical to master the mental challenge of learning every day. Finally, careers require constant development, so you need to be able to sense when it’s time to move up or out and to prepare yourself for the move. So many of the hurdles you face throughout your career are, first and foremost, psychological challenges, and Markman shows you how to use your different mental systems–motivational, social, and cognitive–to manage them more effectively. Integrating the latest research with engaging stories and examples from across the professional spectrum, Bring Your Brain to Work gets inside your head, helping you to succeed through a better understanding of yourself and those around you.

ORDINARY LIFE - Thoughts and Ideas to Help You Live a Happier Life* * *Summary for September 16, 2018* * *Dear Folks -The talk I offered in Ordinary Life this week was part two of what I began last week. I had intended to call it “Living Life As a Continuous Miraculous Practice.” However, in a conversation with Brooke Summers-Perry she gifted me with a much better title -Bring Your Brain. Take Your Heart.We must have spiritual practices that help us maintain our intention and strengthen us to live lives of peace, love, joy, patience and humility. I suggest ways to access these practices. These include ways we honor our bodies, minds and hearts. But, there is more. We must also have faith. The faith we are to have is in the Wholeness that we already are. In our culture we can easily get separated from both the knowledge and awareness of this. Though the ego needs sufficient enlightenment to encourage us to continue the rest of the journey, ego enlightenment is not enough. We have to do the work and have the faith that we are not here to get, but to give. This is an undertaking we never fully accomplish. We have to know that “always we begin again."That is a very brief summary of the talk offered this week in Ordinary Life.You can read or download the text from which I spoke, view the presentation slides, listen to the audio of the talk and/or watch the video of the talk using the links below.If you are reading this, I want you to know how grateful I am for and to you.Be well and much love,Bill KerleyIn order to read or download the text of the talk, click here.In order to view or download the presentation slides of the talk, click here.In order to listen to or download the audio version of the talk, click on the audio player below.
