The design of our brains allows us to prioritize attention efficiently, which is crucial for navigating our environments and making decisions.

The rapid pace of technological change is outpacing our ability to adapt, leading to a mismatch between the world we grew up in and the one we currently live in, which negatively impacts our well-being.

The human brain is not optimized for making the best choices; it's designed for behaviors that feel good, which can lead to dysfunction.

Living in stress is living in survival, which disrupts the balance of the brain and body, leading to disease.

When making decisions under high arousal, we often misjudge information, mistaking noise for signal and correlating unrelated factors, which can lead to poor choices.

Younger generations, like Gen Z, are experiencing unprecedented levels of mental health burnout and stress, not because they are less resilient, but due to the overwhelming challenges they face in a hyperconnected world.

When living in stress, we can only focus on three critical elements: our body, our environment, and the passage of time.

We need to learn to turn off our stress response from a young age to manage stress effectively throughout life.

The human brain is not equipped to handle the constant influx of global news and emergencies. It's essential to focus only on local issues or those you can influence, as caring about everything can lead to insanity.
