Foster dives into the fascinating world of neuroscience with his special guest, Dr. Paul Zak. They discuss how to use the mind to impact all areas of life and behaviours, aiming for extraordinary success. From career and health to relationships and finances, Ken and Paul explore how making better choices can lead to a more fulfilling life.

Paul Zak, a behavioural neuroscientist with over two decades of research experience, shares his insights on how our brain values social and emotional experiences. He introduces the concept of 'immersion', where peak moments of engagement build emotional fitness. Whether it's through smartwatches or fitness wearables, Paul's technology helps individuals and organisations make experiences extraordinary. Ken and Paul also touch on the importance of stress management, social connections, and emotional openness.

Paul emphasises that even small changes, like hugging someone for 20 seconds to release oxytocin, can significantly improve your quality of life. They also discuss how businesses have a duty to create extraordinary experiences for their employees and customers, enhancing both satisfaction and productivity. If you're feeling overwhelmed or stuck in a rut, this episode offers practical advice and scientific insights to help you make better choices and get into the 'flow' of life.
