How Your Thoughts Are Built & How You Can Shape Them | Dr. Jennifer Groh

My guest is Dr. Jennifer Groh, PhD, professor of psychology and
neuroscience at Duke University. She explains how our brain encodes
sights and sounds and integrates them so we can navigate and
understand the world around us. She explains what thoughts really
are and how what you focus on determines your thoughts, not just in
that moment but your future thoughts too. We discuss this in the
context of how to improve your level of focus and happiness and how
to complete tasks and task-switch more effectively. We also discuss
how you can rewire the neural circuits that underlie your default
patterns of thinking and attention. Sponsors AGZ by AG1:
