Myth #19: The Brain’s Capacity

Erase that notion from your mind—the idea that your brain lounges around at a mere 10% capacity. The truth is, every nook and cranny of your brain is on the clock, working tirelessly 24/7, even during those moments when you’re deep in slumber or lost in daydreams.

Peek into your brain with the help of a brain scan, and you’ll find that it’s firing on all cylinders, even when you’re tackling the simplest of tasks. So, whether you’re crunching complex equations or deciding what’s for dinner, your brain orchestrates a symphony of activity.
