Discussion Topic: 90% Chimpanzee, 10% Bee!

Book Title: The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion (Reflection 2/2)

In this episode of YOML, a Year of Magical Learning, we wrap up our exploration of Jonathan Haidt's 'The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion' with part 2 of our reflections. Chris leads the discussion on the principle of '90% Chimp, 10% Bee,' underscoring the balance between individualism and group cohesion in human behaviour. The team discusses how this concept applies to personal fulfilment, business environments, and societal structures, and explores how to integrate both aspects in a way that cultivates meaningful work and relationships. Join us as we delve into how to express both your inner chimpanzee's creativity and the bee's altruism, all while sharing actionable insights from the book's profound lessons.
