Representative public comments
I just can't believe I live in a world where I can access so much knowledge for free.
The part where he mentions that he wants to be adopted by a more functional family even at 45 yrs really hits home. Really delineates how no matter how old and independent you are, you still need love and support.
"Neuroplasticity is TRIGGERED by deep focus, but neuroplasticity OCCURS during deep rest and sleep". This is the most incredibly valuable information.
