-- Tobias Jesso Jr.

Study after study has proven that if the emotion centers of our brain are damaged in some way, we don't just lose the ability to laugh or cry, we lose the ability to make decisions. Alarm bells for every business right there. The neurologist Donald Calne puts it brilliantly: â€œThe essential difference between emotion and reason is that emotion leads to action while reason leads to conclusions.â€”
