We learn like Monkeys?

They are calling this one of the most important neuroscientific breakthroughs in recent history?

So what is all the fuss about? It seems we learn most things the same way as this charming guy in the picture. The reason is we both have 'mirror neurons' in our brains.

In other words we both learn by watching someone else and we learn just as well by watching as we do by doing. The behavior of others is irresitable to our unconscious mind.

This explains why achievement or stupidity can run throught the same family or group. Now I understand 'mob mentality'. And more importantly why we shouldn't just watch people but instead we should watch the experts. So I'm guessing if you hang around with negative grumpy people you will quickly master their tendencies.

The implications for sports training and those looking for success are immense. Hang out with losers and you will have that mastered in no time. Hang out with winners and here comes the new mansion on the hill. Hang out with happy people and life will be a blast.

Now if you will excuse me I'm going to look for people who find life, fun, easy and over-flowing with abundance!
