Pindanootje is…
Waarom de naam Pindanootje?
“It comes down to Dr. Taylor’s insight as a brain scientist that we can actually give our brain’s something to think about. We can choose when to listen to that collection of cells in the left hemisphere of the brain that she says is about the size of a peanut. How often do you let that peanut rule your life?
When your brain is giving you something to think about that you don’t want to think about, you can simply choose to think about something else. Many of us would deny this because we think we are the sum of our thoughts, and therefore to stop listening to our thoughts is impossible because they are who we are. But, Dr. Taylor says that we can use our own anatomy to our advantage. That peanut is a tool that you can use - it can communicate beautifully and can help you converse with the world around you - but the price we pay for that peanut is the ego, or that relentless voice in our head that keeps us from enjoying the present moment.”
