I provide an original framework that blends neuroscience, behavior, AI, and mindfulness to explain being human as the conscious driver behind the wheel of a self-driving vehicle that does most of the driving. Attendees will gain a new understanding of their skills, habits, behaviors, and thoughts as impersonal responses that initially originate from our self-driving system. We are the driver who decides whether to go with it or not. Attendees will leave with a new strategy for using deliberate attention to take the wheel with their driver and rewire their vehicle for toward success and greater balance. Within my framework I can discuss - The self-driving metaphor, deliberate attention, regulating emotions, the brain as a learning network, and human potential.
