Kaizen questions such as “What’s the smallest step I can take to be more efficient?” They allow the brain to focus on problem-solving and, eventually, action.

It puts our performance, decision making, relationships, happiness, and health in jeopardy.

Survival of the Richest - Recommended Book

...further research has suggested that after people have gained power, they tend to behave like patients with damage to the brain’s orbitofrontal lobes. That is, the experience of wealth and power is akin to removing the part of the brain “critical to empathy and socially appropriate behavior.”...
