Brain mechanics: At the base of our brains is a small organ called the amygdala,
whose job is to assess whether every incoming stimulus is a threat. If yes, the amygdala
triggers the well-known adrenaline response. But it also floods the cortex--the brain's
rational part--with chemicals that block some of its function. This is one reason the
survivor of a plane crash says he doesn't know how he got out--"I didn't think; I just did
it."

It's a useful chemical response when we're threatened with violent physical harm.
Trouble is, it's triggered just as readily by the threat of emotional pain. That's why the
person to whom you give a negative evaluation seems to stop hearing you: As soon as the
amygdala realizes he's getting hammered, his brain flips over to PAM and prepares for
battle or escape.

Maurice when you read my message your brain goes PAM. You recognize my ideas as a threat and react instinctively. How about "The Elmatador holistic way to invest"?
