About this listen

 'A fascinating exploration of human potential that will change how you think about thinking' DANIEL H PINK

Are you worried that AI could replace you?
What if we told you that your brain already has the solution?

In this life-changing book, Professor Angus Fletcher shares a revolutionary neuroscientific approach to unlocking the hidden potential of your intelligence. Fletcher and his team of researchers tested a pattern of thinking that - whether trained into civilian entrepreneurs, doctors, teachers, athletes, or children as young as eight - helped participants to achieve heightened levels of leadership and innovation, cope better with change, and experience less anger and anxiety. They called it Primal Intelligence.

Now, this training is being made available to you. Blending practical advice with cutting-edge research, Fletcher will show you how to reshape your approach to intuition, imagination, emotion, and common sense. Primal Intelligence is the ultimate guide to maximising your efficiency, creativity, adaptability, and precision, giving you the tools and edge over AI to thrive in an uncertain world.©2025 Angus Fletcher Personal Development Personal Success Human Brain

Critic reviews

Primal Intelligence delivers a fascinating exploration of human potential that will change how you think about thinking . . . This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to thrive in an uncertain world. (Daniel H. Pink, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Power of Regret and Drive)
Groundbreaking. (US Army)
Primal Intelligence confirms what I have long suspected about Angus Fletcher. He has never had an uninteresting thought (Malcolm Gladwell, bestselling author of Outliers and Blink)
Angus is one of the most original thinkers I've come across. His core idea is simple but powerful: in volatile, high-uncertainty environments, intuition and imagination outperform logic and data. AI may be fast, but humans still win at adapting, storytelling, and spotting the exceptions. And what I love most about his work is how deeply interdisciplinary it is.
Curious, intriguing, and accessible . . . Fletcher helps us see what we are capable of-and how to sharpen our own innate human smarts.

I’m recommending this book to all of my friends. In the new era of AI which I am a big fan of, this book helps us to understand and develop our human intelligence which will be of enormous value in the years ahead. A very positive and practical book.
