About this listen
This myth likely originated from misinterpreted early research, false attributions to Albert Einstein, and Hollywood movies that portray "unlocking" more of the brain as a way to gain superhuman abilities. In reality, neurons are constantly active, and brain injuries prove that every part of the brain serves a crucial function.
The 10% myth persists because it’s an exciting idea—it suggests we have untapped potential waiting to be unlocked. But while human potential is vast, it’s not because 90% of our brain is unused. Instead, we already use our full brain capacity in different ways.
This episode highlights how misinformation spreads when it is repeated often enough, even when it’s scientifically false. The truth? Your brain is already working at full power—you just need to use it wisely.
