A Neurobiologist's Guide to Mind Manipulation
summary
Promises concrete tactics: step into an introspective whoop technique, spot inputs (bodily state, automatic thoughts, events), name emotions, use journaling and expanded vocabulary, and apply CBT reframes that the presenter claims match antidepressants in effectiveness. For teams, cites Google studies that psychological safety — not skills or management style — predicts performance, and gives communication moves (declare unknowns, validate, depersonalize ideas) plus a shared Google Doc with links and homework to practice.
