Checking for Drift (S12E19)

Drawing parallels from surgical practices, he explains how small, consistent checks can help us stay on course. The episode covers the pathophysiology and pharmacology of self-brain surgery, offering practical advice on using thought discipline to create lasting change. Dr. Warren also highlights the importance of maintaining good habits, checking for drift regularly, and using re-uptake inhibitors in our thought processes.
