You can trick your brain … people do it daily at work … and the results can be deadly. How so?
The brain play tricks when you make it think what is not … really is. Che
ck out this YouTube video to see and example of what I mean.
Fact is … your spatial intelligence plays vivid images onto mental screens in your brain – and eventually you begin to believe and act on these images … whether they’re accurate or not. Manipulate images to lie?
You’d be surprised how the brain begins to rewire itself to act on false visual information that it’s fed. It gets scarier…. Let me give a potent example.
Donatella Versace’s staff cover the message SMOKING KILLS on each pack of cigarettes before she sees it. There’s more.
They replace the genuine death warning with a fine sticker that highlights her DV monogram decked in a fine medieval script. So Donatella sees DV Marlboro Reds, each time she slips another cigarette into her mouth.
Yikes – what does that say about lies in the workplace? Do you see how faulty traditions can begin to trump current research? Eventually … like Donatella … you believe lies and teach your brain to do the same. Maybe that’s also what led this business celebrity to say … Happiness is a word I do not believe exists.
What do you see where you work…?
This is a fascinating video and article, Ellen. Does this mean that when a person uses creative visualisation s/he is lying? ;)
