How Does Your Nervous System Impact Your Decisions?

Hadley: Our nervous system is constantly scanning our environment to determine if we're feeling safe or under threat. When we feel under threat, when we sense a stimulus outside of ourselves, our system processes that as a threat. And then fear is both like a cognitive and physiological response to that threat. Hadley: In modern society, where our fears aren't related to surviving a tiger, but it's more so tied to money and survival. That's really where there's a strong connection between money and the nervous system around that sense of safety and security.
