Good book. Meaning is everything.

Still nice, somehow repetitive but I like repetition.

Exquisite writing manner, hard concepts 100% simplified.

Sometimes, we find our frequency by holding on to a moral bottom line in the midst of chaos.

Sometimes we find it by breaking the rules and running the red light to get home.

Good news: The overexcitable amygdala can be tamed, with the right experiences.

Amygdala is the centre for emotions in the brain (called the emotional brain). Overexcitability means more restlesnees, more negative emotions, more melancholy and less optimism. More rush of norepinephrine in the brain.

"Once your emotional system learns something, it seems you never let it go. What therapy does is teach you to control it- it teaches your neocortex how to inhibit your amygdala. The propensity to act is suppressed, while your basic emotion about it remains in a subdued form".
