What is “Caveman Syndrome”?
“Every man is a quotation from all his ancestors.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson
Key Points:
- Human biology is optimized for the world that existed 100,000 years ago, not for the world today. Your brain and body simply aren’t optimized for today’s world.
- Part of the challenge is facing 16 hours work days, instead of the physical survival of the past.
- Don’t be too hard on yourself. Nobody was built for the world as it is today.
Questions for Consideration:
- Do you often feel bad about not being able to keep up with the demands of modern life?
- How does knowing we’re not built for what we’re doing change the way you perceive your shortcomings?
