How many times did you lie today? Chances are, at least twice. Double that if you met a stranger today. 

Lying is an essential part of the human condition. We project an image of how we'd like to be viewed as opposed to how we actually are. Why? Mostly to improve our social standing. In more sinister cases, pathological liars instil false beliefs in their victims to advance their self-interest and sabotage those that they view as obstacles (Game of Thrones is a case in point). 

And there a very clear reasons for this that we explore in Episode 39 of the BrainTools Podcast, so you can better understand the neural basis for deception and lying, how it happens in the brain and why it's so easy to fall down a slippery slope of deceit. As always, you'll leave with 4 practical strategies and protocols to stop your confabulations (yes, that's a word) so you can stay grounded in reality, just as it is.

Have you ever been in a motivation slump? Where you struggle to even get out of bed, let alone tackle everyday challenges in your work, relationships and personal lives? 

We have a tendency to believe that motivation just "happens" to us. That those who get more stuff done have a switch they can flick at will. But is this actually true? 

In this episode of BrainTools, we break down motivation myths and show you how motivation forms in your brain. As always, you'll leave with 4 practical strategies and protocols to boost your motivation when you feel like doing nothing.

Remember, action generates momentum. And momentum is a force that drives sustainable motivation.
