Starting Over

“If you wanted to create an education environment that was Dr. John Medinadirectly opposed to what the brain was good at doing, you probably would design something like a classroom. If you wanted to create a business environment that was directly opposed to what the brain was good at doing, you probably would design something like a cubicle. And if you wanted to change things, you might have to tear down both and start over. In many ways, starting over is what this book is about.”

~ Dr. John Medina, from Brain Rules: 12 Principles for Surviving and Thriving at Work, Home, and School
