- #19 Simon Sinek – Start with why Actions / Tasks exist on the outer layer (what) and decided by your Neocortex. Limbic Brain decides. Limbic Brain: Feeling Neocortex: Rationalizing Neocortex: This is our newest area of the brain, our homo sapien brain, and this corresponds with the WHAT level of the Golden Circle. This is responsible for all our rational and analytical thought and language. This allows us to look through vast amounts of facts and figures, but it doesn’t drive behaviour. This is why it’s so confusing when we go shopping for a specific type of product that’s offering a range of similar features and benefits. Limbic Brain: The Limbic brain comprises of the middle two sections and is responsible for all our feelings, such as trust and loyalty. This area of the brain is responsible for all human behaviour and all our decision making. It is where our emotional connection takes place, and it has no capacity for language.
