The Overwhelmed Brain and its Impact on Decision Making

Melina Palmer

What happens when our brains get overwhelmed? What is the impact on decision making? Today’s behavioral economics podcast is going to focus on these foundational topics. Businesses always ask people to take some sort of action (buy this, click here, download that). It’s a good idea to be careful not to overwhelm your potential customer. An overwhelmed brain will move on and file your business in the “maybe I’ll look at this later” pile.

A real life business example of taking care not to overwhelm a potential customer (or in this case listener) is these show notes. I take extra time and expense to have everything laid out in an easy to understand way with all of the related links and studies available for you. That way you can relax and enjoy the show, and if you ever want to learn more or check out the links, you know they will be here waiting for you. I also give more real life and business examples of overwhelm and how it affects the brain and your business.
