The Human Mind
Businesses are built by people for people.
Understanding how we take in information,
how we make decisions, and how we decide
what to do or what not to do is critically important
if you want to create and sustain a successful business venture.
Reorganization
“Not all those who wander are lost.” — J. R. R. Tolkien, author of The Lord of the Rings
Key Ideas:
- Reorganization is a random action that occurs when a Reference Level is violated, but you don’t know how to bring back under control. This is what happens when people feel “unhappy with their jobs”, or have the “quarter-life crisis.” There’s something wrong, but it’s hard to know what.
- Reorganization is the neurological basis of learning. If your mind doesn’t know what to do, the best thing is to do random things to acquire data.
- It’s best no to fight Reorganization. It usually just slows down your learning without improving your satisfaction.
- Once you learn how to bring the perception under control, Reorganization stops naturally.
- Embrace the mind’s request to try something new.
Questions for Consideration:
- Do you feel like something is wrong, but you don’t know why, or how to fix it?
- How can you embrace reorganization as a quest to learn instead of repressing the impulse?
