Join us for an interactive live-online seminar

Renowned psychologist and Nobel prize winner, Daniel Kahneman's research laid the foundation for behavioral economics, a field that integrates psychological insights into economic models. Kahneman’s work has had a significant influence on the fields of economics, policymaking, marketing, and business. His work challenged the traditional assumption of rational actors in economics and highlighted the role of emotions, biases, and heuristics in shaping economic behavior.

Our decision-making capacity in all aspects of life is affected daily by our emotions and our overall well-being. Our autonomic nervous system plays an important role in doing so. One of the parameters that can positively influence this is our breath. Breathing techniques improve circulation and blood flow to the brain, and activate our parasympathetic nervous system, which means that our brain gets the message to relax.

For example, doing alternate breathing activates the left and right hemispheres of the brain. When balance is created between the two hemispheres, we feel less stressed and anxious, and more relaxed, thereby improving self-awareness and clarity of mind.

Highlights:

  • Learn about the tendencies of our mind and how to overcome negative patterns
  • Simple techniques to manage stress and build resilience using the power of the breath.
  • Experience guided relaxation to effortlessly cut the vicious cycles of excessive thoughts, leaving your mind focused, clear and stress-free
