Introduction to Mindfulness: The Foundations on How to Work with the Brain, Manage Stress, and Increase Focus
We tend to apply our brain towards other people, to a trajectory that may be most efficient through: determining the direction we wish to take, where we are now, and navigating how to get from where we are to where we want to go.
