About this ebook
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:
#1 If I were your mind, I would be very worried about you. Not because you are reckless, but because the world is a dangerous place. It always has been. I would use the wisdom of generations past to push you toward safety, even though you might not understand my motives.
#2 The mind has something to say almost every time we try to concentrate, which is why it can be so difficult to silence it. We often try to avoid our thoughts and feelings, or argue against them, but that just makes things worse.
#3 The problem with owning a human mind is that it can create the very thing we fear. This is what happened to bright, capable, and likeable Luke. He began to believe that he was an outcast, and he began to behave awkwardly.
#4 The typical human mind is designed to judge itself against other people, and it will try to find reasons to believe that it is inferior. But this can be irrational, as the mind is trying to solve a problem that never existed in the first place.

#3
The problem with owning a human mind is that it can create the very thing we fear. This is what happened to bright, capable, and likeable Luke. He began to believe that he was an outcast, and he began to behave awkwardly.
#4
The typical human mind is designed to judge itself against other people, and it will try to find reasons to believe that it is inferior. But this can be irrational, as the mind is trying to solve a problem that never existed in the first place.
#5
We are all like Luke, with our minds constantly worrying, calling us to action, and constantly getting in the way of what we want. But there is nothing wrong with a mind like Luke’s. It was doing what it was supposed to do from a standpoint of safety and survival.
