Key takeaways — Misbehaving
- ✓ Isaalang-alang ang pag-iwas sa pagkalugi: mas matindi ang takot ng tao na mawalan ng 100 dolyar kaysa ang pagnanais na kumita nito.
- ✓ Pagandahin ang ‘architectural choice’ sa produkto at opisina upang mahikayat ang mga tao sa tamang desisyon bilang default.
- ✓ Samantalahin ang mental accounting ng mga kliyente para sa mas epektibong pagpepresyo at marketing.
Key takeaways — Why We Sleep
- ✓ Kilalanin ang Pagtulog bilang pangunahing kasangkapan sa pagganap, at unawain na ang paulit-ulit na kakulangan sa tulog ay unti-unting nagpapababa sa IQ, strategic foresight, at emosyonal na katalinuhan.
- ✓ Pangalagaan ang REM Sleep para sa Malikhain at Masusing Problema, na tinitiyak na ang 'Sleep Architecture' ay nagsusulong ng malalalim na panaginip na mahalaga sa pag-integrate ng mga kumplikadong impormasyon sa merkado upang makabuo ng mga bagong pananaw.
- ✓ Alisin ang 'Badge of Honor' sa kakulangan sa tulog sa loob ng iyong kultura, at kilalanin na ang pagod na workforce ay mas may posibilidad na magkamali at hindi gaanong mapanlikha.
