In this episode, Mireille and Adam talk through the challenge of problem solving. It’s all to common to utilize the “try harder” approach when things aren’t working out the way you’d like. While that kind of effort is valuable, this approach is often wrought with further frustration, wasted time and less than desirable results. This episode offers you an alternative perspective and ways that you can practice getting unstuck and utilize more of the resources of your unconscious mind.

Brain Science: Neuroscience, Behavior - Step away to get unstuck
Transcript
Today I wanna examine and potentially debug this "Try harder" method of solving problems. From my experience, staying in the moment doesn't always lead to solving the problem; by getting away, taking a shower, maybe a walk, playing with the kids, going for a bike ride - they enable my mind to wander, make connections, and potentially influence these A-ha moments; that's how I solve my problems, by getting away, unplugging.
