Highlights

Our brains are incredibly powerful, but their reflexive reactions don’t serve us well in most modern-day pressure situations.

Our reflexive, Caveman response is to view pressure as a threat, not as an opportunity.

Don’t be hijacked by your Caveman. While we can’t get rid of our Caveman, we can be aware of it and learn to manage it.

Learn and practice the reframing skill to move from threat to opportunity. Reframing is about changing your perspective deliberately. Reframing gives you the steering wheel to your brain.

1. Pause and recognize your Caveman’s story.

2. Challenge your Caveman’s story.

3. Explore different, rational stories.

4. Choose and act on your best new story.
