QUOTES FROM Dr. Eugene Choi
“The survival state is the state when your brain thinks your life is in danger. It's a mode where you are reacting without thinking.” - Dr. Eugene Choi
“Research shows that emotional pain can be just as painful as physical pain. That's how our brain processes it.” - Dr. Eugene Choi
“Money is an easy trigger for us to go into a survival state…” - Dr. Eugene Choi
“If you want to be a great leader, the number one you need to do is to understand the concept of true ownership.” - Dr. Eugene Choi
“It's the loneliness that's causing the burnout. How lonely you feel directly correlates with how burnt out you get.”  - Dr. Eugene Choi
“We have to develop the eyes to see what fight-flight-freeze looks like. That actually helps you connect the dots on why we're in this for 70% of our adult life.” - Dr. Eugene Choi
“So how do we fight from an emotional survival standpoint? It could be perfectionism, which is to fight to be perfect.” - Dr. Eugene Choi
“The fight itself will lead to burnout. I have seen it time and time again, fighting always leads to burnout, it always leads to lack of fulfillment.” - Dr. Eugene Choi
