Your Brain is Lying to You. The human brain takes in, stores and retrieves information in a 'good enough' way. As a result, much of what we think and feel is askew. In this video, Roger challenges viewers to imagine how knowing this can lead to more curiosity, creativity, and happiness. Roger has lived an eclectic life. He holds a Master of Science in Mathematics from Northern Illinois University and a Master of Science in Management from the Sloan School at MIT. He taught high school, was a manager for a Fortune 100 company, owned a management consulting company, and, most recently ran the local Chamber of Commerce. Roger has volunteered extensively. He chaired the community 4th of July Fireworks for 17 years, has worked with teens in an anti-alcohol, anti-drug program, and has spent more than 2500 hours answering calls on a suicide hotline. Today, Roger loves challenging audiences to see how their thinking keeps them from finding true happiness and success. He and Judi, his wife of 32 years, have two grown children and live in Batavia, Illinois. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
