Rogue One stands out in the Star Wars universe for being a stand-alone story that plugs some of the gaps of the past and helps explain better future events. It is also a densely layered creation with tremendous attention to detail and, despite its sci-fi context, a lot of realism.
Let’s talk about a life and death scenario. You’re a badass Navy SEAL, kitted out to the teeth, jumping off a helicopter, at night, low over water into a choppy sea. You’re going to have to assemble a raft, paddle to your landing zone and then initiate a risky mission governed by a multitude of factors outside your control.
We’ve all had some experience of a moment when we respond to the sound of our name said in a crowded, noisy room. The “Cocktail Party Effect” as this has become known as, is indicative of the underlying complex data processing that goes on in the brain.

What if you could train your brain to not freeze in a crisis? What if you could train your mind to respond to anything in a calm, measured way?

New research coming out of neurological departments in the military shows that you can develop the warrior mind necessary to help you deal with the unexpected and make better business decisions.
