Iain McGilchrist: The divided brain

An extremely dense lecture that is helped along a lot by the illustrations that accompany it. What I found interesting about this is that my brain is engaged in ways that I do not fully understand or appreciate during the trading day. And perhaps, by considering the brain's chemistry and physiology we can make improvements to our lives through more conscious living.

National Health and Fitness Day

Courtesy of Google. Its long and I wouldn't (didn't) watch the whole thing, but there is some good stuff in the middle (around the 25min mark) about eating in the afternoon. This is especially important for traders, because we often are very ready to collapse around this time. Maintaining your energy and focus enables you to prepare for the next day and operate at peak performance.
