“Instead of it being the mark of a real man that you can shoot somebody at 50 feet and kill them with a gun, the mark of a real man is that you would never do anything like that. . . .

“The mind and the body are inextricably entwined, and rarely are their inseparability clearer than when we're under some kind of mental pressure. The moment we start trying to learn a new skill, make a decision or otherwise think on our feet, our nervous system reacts - with accelerated pulse rate, increased respiration, even sweating.” ThinkingTryingMindKindMomentsBodyDecisionFeetSkillsPressureRateNervousPulseNervous SystemSweatingEntwinedNew SkillsRespiration Author:Jeffrey Kluger
