Kare, thanks for a very interesting and relevant article. The main message it carries -”Prediction for living well in this increasingly connected world: …..The biggest stories (Acting like a journalist) often came when I was able to connect with people who didn’t act right(like me)”, is more than revealing. It is a fantastic insight. Going through all this information treasure,I also decided to purchase N.Doidge’s book -”The Brain that Changes Itself”. I learned from what I read, that intellectual giants like Robyn McMaster and I assume Dr. Ellen Weber will also rewire their still plastic brains. It is curious to know what Nancy C. Andereasen, who wrote the highly successful book -”The Creating Brain-The Neuroscience Of Genius”, thinks on the raised issues? Kurt Vonnegut defines her as one of the most creative persons of our time. It strikes me that Dr.Weber and Robyn are such an inventive and creative team that it is perfectly possible for them with your lifting support to make “Philosophy bake bread” as W. Churchman and Russell Ackoff defined their goal 50 years ago.
Since you apparently are so involved in brain research and creative systems of thought, I would be happy to hear your opinion on:Lessons Learned – Why the Failures of Systems Thinking Should Inform the Future of Design Thinking? After all it is obvious that design and “design thinking” is gaining recognition as an important integrative concept in management practice and education.

Robyn – as a longtime fan of your news-you-can-use blog (just quoted you today and linked to you on FB) I appreciate your feedback. And this book on the brain is practical and offers great insights on how, with knowledge and practice, make compensating improvements.

Kare, thanks for a very pertinent article. I’ve been meaning to buy “The Brain that Changes Itself” and reading what you show here convinces me. Thanks goodness our brains have great plasticity and that we are able to change the behaviors you describe here.
