I think that school also motivates people with urgency and pressure by using due dates and grades, but look how well that works. The quote "we're built to work together" is one that I thought was interesting because it makes humans seem like we're robots and that we're built, not born. I related classical republicanism to this as well because they put the good of the community before an individual which is similar to what he was talking about.
Chapter 6
I thought this chapter was interesting because I couldn't quite find the relationship between how to be a good leader and the chemicals in our body. I found out that dopamine is very related to to leadership. I'm wondering though, how does dopamine know when to release itself for the right goal? I also wondered if a lack of dopamine is related to procrastination? I didn't realize until this chapter how vital oxytocin is.
Chapter 7
I have noticed that he likes to start chapters with stories, I think it's because he wants to keep our attention. The quote "many of us work in environments where members of the group don't care about one another's fate" made me wonder. I found it sad yet true but it also made me think, what made us like that where we don't care about the person next to us? Why are we like that?
Chapter 8
I started out this chapter with a question: how are leaders suppose to look out for people in our leadership class? My possible answers were: stand up and defend and protect people? Or sacrifice what they have earned for others?
I thought Chapman had a great quote "It is better that we all suffer a little, so that none of us has to suffer a lot". I really wish everyone thought that way because then the world would be a better place and no one would have to go through hardships alone again.
