He guides you to identify and rewire the mental and emotional loops that hold you back, offering practical tools to heal from past traumas and redefine your narrative.
This book is a powerful resource for those seeking to lead with authenticity and purpose. It delves into how understanding your brain’s patterns can enhance emotional intelligence, improve communication, and create a thriving, supportive environment for your team. Tomasz provides science-backed techniques to help you foster resilience, align with your core values, and inspire innovation within your organization.
Breaking Patterns isn’t just about leadership in the professional sense—it’s about mastering the leadership of your own life. Whether you’re looking to elevate your career, deepen your relationships, or achieve meaningful, lasting transformation, this book equips you with the knowledge and tools to overcome limitations and lead with confidence.
Leadership is about making high-impact decisions—choices that shape businesses, drive innovation and determine success. Experience, data, and strategic thinking are invaluable assets, but what if they don’t tell the whole story? What if decision-making is influenced by deeper neurological patterns—ones that shape perception, filter information, and create a sense of certainty even when a broader perspective is needed?
In The Neuroscience of Decision-Making, Tomasz Drybala offers a new perspective on how leaders navigate complexity. Instead of relying solely on traditional frameworks, he explores the biological mechanisms that influence choices—how neurochemicals like dopamine and cortisol reinforce confidence or hesitation, how cognitive biases subtly shape perception, and how even the most experienced leaders can unknowingly fall into patterns that cloud judgment.
This book goes beyond theory. It introduces a practical approach to recognizing and recalibrating the mental shortcuts that drive leadership decisions. It challenges the assumption that better choices come solely from gathering more information. Instead, it reveals how deeper awareness of the brain’s processes ensures that knowledge leads to sharper, faster, and more effective leadership.
The Neuroscience of Decision-Making isn’t about changing what you know—it’s about changing how your knowledge influences the choices you trust.
Authentic connection is the foundation of a fulfilling life. When we stop pretending, stop adjusting ourselves to fit expectations, and start living in alignment with who we truly are, everything changes—including our relationships. We begin to attract the right people, build deeper bonds, and experience a level of trust and security that can only come from genuine connections. Neuroscience explains why.
Choosing the Right People: How Neuroscience Helps Us Build Secure, Aligned Relationships explores how our brains are wired for connection and how neurochemistry shapes the way we relate to others. When we embrace authenticity, our neurochemistry shifts—dopamine reinforces genuine interactions, oxytocin deepens trust, and cortisol diminishes in relationships that no longer require us to play a role or walk on eggshells. But when we hide parts of ourselves or engage in relationships that don’t align with who we are, the brain’s reward system keeps us stuck in cycles of misalignment, stress, or unfulfilled expectations.
Whether in romantic relationships, friendships, business partnerships, or building high-performing teams, the same principles apply. The more authentic we are, the more naturally we attract people who resonate with us. But to break free from patterns of inauthenticity, we must first understand the cognitive biases and unconscious habits that pull us toward connections that don’t serve us. Through neuroscience, Choosing the Right People reveals how to recognize secure, aligned individuals, set and maintain boundaries, filter out relationships that drain us, and build connections that are rooted in mutual growth, trust, and shared purpose.
The key to meaningful relationships isn’t effort—it’s alignment. When we stop forcing connections and start showing up as ourselves, the right people come into our lives, and our neurochemistry reinforces those bonds. Authenticity isn’t just a personal choice; it’s a biological advantage in building the life and relationships we truly want.
