There are three facets to practicing Neuragility:

 

1. biological and social health,

2. individual agency enhanced through critical thinking, and

3. collective practices that increase the intelligence and agency of a community.

​

1. Biological and social health include

• rejuvenating diet, sleep, and exercise

• building connections and community

• engaging in focus, reflection, and meditation practices

• pursuing hobbies, interests, and avocations    

​

2. Agency & Critical Thinking include

• engaging complexity, ambiguity, and claims of truth with skepticism, inquiry, and openness

• identifying, deconstructing, and reconsidering your and other’s assumptions, reasoning, and social conditioning

• recombining the elements of your experience and developing latent talents

• using emotional intelligence to relate to yourself and others with wisdom and compassion

• taking full responsibility for your thoughts, actions, and impact – intended or not

• engaging people and situations in new ways -- while experimenting and learning

​

3. Collective Intelligence and Action include (all of the above, plus)

• stepping back as a community to reconsider and update, together, the reference points and assumptions that frame people’s logic, relationships, identity, focus, and frames

• a deep commitment to learning, integrity, and action

• understanding the complexity, principles, and ‘logic’ of human social systems, the underlying social contract, and how leadership is an expression of that system
