You’re underestimating your brain

from Think from KERA · host KERA

We’ve all heard of “imposter syndrome” and something similar is going on in your brain in regard to your intelligence. Dr. Josh Turknett, M.D. is a board-certified neurologist and the founder of the Institute for Performance Neurology, where he works at the intersection of neuroscience, learning and human potential. He joins host Krys Boyd to discuss why we all have the ability to unlock abilities, how intelligence is built over time and why we spend so much time telling ourselves we can’t succeed. His book is “The Genius and the Imposter: The Neuroscience of Unlocking Human Potential.” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
