A Neurosurgeon’s Fascinating Ride Inside Your Brain | Dr Chandan ys | TEDxElliots Beach
Ever wondered who's really in control up there?
A neurosurgeon with years of experience navigating the brain's intricate highways, invites you on a wild ride through the most complex 3-pound universe you'll ever own which is your brain.
Buckle up as he introduces you to the colorful cast of characters living inside your head: the CEO who thinks they're running the show, the Drama Queen who overreacts to everything, and the other personalities competing for control of your decisions, emotions, and daily life.
But this isn't just a tour,it's a survival guide . Through fascinating neuroscience and real stories from the operating room, he reveals why these different parts of your brain clash, hijack your best intentions, and sometimes sabotage your mental wellbeing.
Most importantly, he shares practical strategies to work with each of these neural characters instead of against them. Learn how to calm the Drama Queen, empower the right CEO, and create harmony in the boardroom of your mind.
Because understanding your brain isn't just about knowing where things are, it's about learning how to drive.
Fasten your seat belts. Your brain is more interesting than you think. Neurosurgeon This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
