Gut - Giulia Enders
What’s in it
What has your gut got to do with your career?
Well, as it happens quite a bit.
We all know the sayings. We are 'scared shitless', we can be 'pooing our pants'. We can't get our 'arse into gear if we don't get on with things. We 'swallow' our disappointment and need to 'digest' a defeat.
Even our ancestors knew that your gut had a role to play in your behaviour, in your actions, in your intuition. And now science is getting in on the act too!
It turns out that your gut has a lot of say in our decisions as the nerves in the gut influences different parts of your brain (spoiler alert: it's all about movement and change). And having a healthy gut influences both your physical and mental wellbeing.
Why I like it
Perhaps not the most obvious choice for a career change book, but if you want to know how your gut and brain work together to help you make the best decisions then this is the book to read!
