I call you to recruit you for a new job.

• What happens in the brain
• What is naturally desired by people - intrinsic desire
• What choices or options mean to a mind. What too many/too few options means
• What motivates people - primal instinct, reptilian brain
  • Tune out to the sales pitch
  • How do I get rid of this person?

What triggers Fight or Flight response?
