Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 Some people may be better at listening to their bodies and getting good judgments than others. The best financial traders are not necessarily the most intelligent, but rather those who are the most sensitive to interoceptive signals.
#2 Interoception is the awareness of the inner state of the body. It is generated in places all over the body, and then travels via multiple pathways to a structure in the brain called the insula. Some individuals are interoceptive champions, able to determine when their heart beats, while others are interoceptive duds, unable to feel the rhythm.
#3 We are constantly collecting and storing information about the world around us, and this process is what allows us to recognize and understand patterns. We are not able to articulate the content of our non-conscious knowledge, but it is still there.
#4 We are constantly using information that we acquired nonconsciously. We are not aware that these searches are taking place, but our interoceptive faculty alerts us when a potentially relevant pattern is detected.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

Some people may be better at listening to their bodies and getting good judgments than others. The best financial traders are not necessarily the most intelligent, but rather those who are the most sensitive to interoceptive signals.

#2

Interoception is the awareness of the inner state of the body. It is generated in places all over the body, and then travels via multiple pathways to a structure in the brain called the insula. Some individuals are interoceptive champions, able to determine when their heart beats, while others are interoceptive duds, unable to feel the rhythm.

#3

We are constantly collecting and storing information about the world around us, and this process is what allows us to recognize and understand patterns. We are not able to articulate the content of our non-conscious knowledge, but it is still there.

#4

We are constantly using information that we acquired nonconsciously. We are not aware that these searches are taking place, but our interoceptive faculty alerts us when a potentially relevant pattern is detected.

#5

The body not only allows us access to information that is more complex than what our conscious minds can handle, but it also marshals this information at a pace that is far quicker than our conscious minds can handle.

#6

The body scan is a meditation technique that helps us become more aware of our internal signals. It trains us to observe these sensations with interest and equanimity, and to name them. This allows us to begin to regulate them.

#7

The practice of affect labeling, like the body scan, is a form of mental training intended to get us into the habit of noting and naming the sensations that arise in our bodies. Our bodies can be more rational than our brains, as they are not subject to the cognitive biases that so often distort our conscious thought.

#8

The bias displayed by the non-meditators in the Virginia Tech study is just one of many catalogued by behavioral economists. Others include the anchoring effect, in which we rely too heavily as a point of reference on the first piece of information we encounter; the availability heuristic, in which we overestimate the likelihood of events that come more readily to mind; and the self-serving bias, in which our personal preferences incline our beliefs in an overly optimistic direction.

#9

Successful investors are extremely sensitive to these subtle physiological cues. They are able to identify and act on them in that moment, rather than dismissing them, suppressing them, or holding them off for later inspection.

#10

The body can act as a guide to good decision making, as well as a coach who pushes us to pursue our goals and persevere in the face of adversity. Interoception can help us become more resilient.

#11

The psychologist Paulus has conducted research on how people respond to stress, and found that high-resilience people are able to push through adversity and challenge, while low-resilience people are more likely to struggle, burn out, or give up.

#12

The insula is responsible for the anticipatory response to a stressful situation, while the cognitive test is the result of a digitized graph that shows how well people respond to the stress. People with low resilience have a brain scan that is the opposite of Diana Nyad’s: low activity before a stressor and high activity after it.

#13

The most cognitively resilient soldiers pay attention to their bodily sensations at the early stage of a challenge, when signs of stress are just beginning to accumulate. By remaining alert to these preliminary signals, they can avoid being taken by surprise and then overreacting.

#14

We often mistake the brain’s determination of an appropriate emotion for the emotion itself. In reality, the body produces sensations that initiate actions, and only then does the mind assemble these pieces of evidence into the emotion.

#15

The thing we call emotion is actually constructed from more elemental parts, including the signals generated by the body’s interoceptive system and the beliefs of our families and cultures regarding how these signals are to be interpreted.

#16

We can choose to reappraise our feelings of stress as productive coping. For example, we can say to ourselves that feeling anxious while taking a standardized test will make us do well on the test, and that our arousal could be helping us do well.

#17

The body’s interoceptive faculty can help us understand other people’s emotions. We are able to feel what others are feeling because we are constantly mimicking their expressions, gestures, and vocal pitch.

#18

We can develop the capacity of the body to enhance our connections with others, called social interoception. This involves looking our conversational partner in the eye and touching him or her on the hand or arm. When interpersonal situations become difficult, we tend to shift our focus away from our own internal sensations and toward external events.

#19

Our brains take their cues about the emotions we’re experiencing from the sensations generated by the body. Tsakiris’s device intervenes in this loop by offering the brain a message that is different from the one the body is actually producing.
