You think you are so smart and yet you learn like a monkey!

Another Truthteller exclusive!

They are calling this one of the most important neuroscientific breakthroughs in recent history? (and yet it seems so obvious)

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 learn just as well by watching, as we do by doing. The behavior of others is irresitable to our unconscious mind. And sometimes we even learn without knowing it.

This explains why achievement or stupidity can run through a family or group. Now I understand 'mob mentality'. And more importantly why we shouldn't just watch ordinary people but instead we pay more attention to 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 hang out with the happiest and richest guy I can find with prettiest girlfriend! (dang I don't know anyone who fits that description)
