This is an artificial intelligence summary of the The Human Animal webinar

Summary

Here are the key takeaways from the webinar:

  • The brain and mind are separate. The brain is physical and keeps changing, while the mind is non-physical.

  • The body has its own intelligence and doesn’t fully trust the mind. It will take over if it feels threatened to ensure survival. This can lead to self-sabotaging behaviors.

  • The body wants to survive and ensure the survival of the species. Understanding these instincts can explain some irrational behaviors.

  • The body uses pain and pleasure chemicals like dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, endorphins and cortisol to motivate behaviors for survival.

  • In the modern world, these chemicals can lead to addictions and self-sabotage when artificially triggered too often.

  • Becoming aware of dependencies caused by the chemicals is the first step. Interrupting undesired patterns and replacing dependencies can help break addictions.
