And for these people that I was working with, what I sort of found is that if you're a programmer working at a job, like sure, there's a lot of like pragmatic code that you need to write, but that there's an emotional component, an intuitive component of like,
oh, even though your boss says that like, oh yeah, it's totally fine.
Like we'll give you an extension if you need it.
There's an intuitive part of your brain that is kind of like warning you like, hey, this is not really like a great environment.
Like there's something is wrong here.
And what I sort of found is that connecting these people with their emotions and their intuition allowed them to achieve flow states more and make better decisions.
So the first thing that we've got to understand is that our brain has a ton of information that we do not have access to.
So the best example that I can kind of think of is the other day I got out of my car and I brought groceries in and then I was like, oh, where are my keys?
And I looked around for my keys.
I looked everywhere.
I couldn't find my keys.
And then my brain, like after 10 minutes of searching is like, oh, by the way, your hands were full with groceries.
So you set the keys down on top of the car.
And then I went back and I walked and I grabbed my keys and sure enough, there they were.
But this is kind of weird if you think about it, right?
My brain had access to this information all along, but like it chose some random time.
It's not like even though the brain had the information, I had access to it, which is why I spent 10 or 15 minutes looking.
So let's start with a couple of scientific facts about sleep and dreams.
The first thing that we have to understand is that evolution doesn't waste any space.
We don't have anything in the body or the brain or the mind that doesn't serve some kind of function, okay?
