Scientists have shown that at any moment our brain must process 11 million pieces of information it receives and make various decisions. Any guess of how much of this we can actually consciously process and make decisions? Scientists say about 40 pieces, so the other 10,999,960 pieces are processed and handled by our brain unconsciously based upon our collective life experiences. Needless to say, we probably don’t get it right all the time! We are human and that means we are not perfect. Read more from President & CEO Jeff Morgan, FASAE, CAE.
