Dr. Dave Rabin

And long story short, I just realized that when you look at the whole view of life and mental illness and ease and disease and

and you look at it from the three perspectives together, Eastern, Western, and tribal medicine, with all the pieces, the solutions are actually a lot more simple than we thought.

And so seeing that we weren't getting taught this in medical school, and none of my medical colleagues and practitioners that I worked with were getting taught this stuff, I just realized, you know, I need to write this book.

Like, I need to put all these pieces together for people and

So that we can have a simple guide that actually pulls from all these different disciplines and gives people all the pieces they need to solve this puzzle on their own, helping kind of reframe this as actually as simple as it really is, which is really getting back to childhood wonder and joy.

innocence play uh imagination intuition like spirituality all the good stuff that has been talked about for thousands of years by eastern tribal cultures we're now finally proving in western medicine and western science are real and not only are they real they change our biology they extend our longevity they increase our heart rate variability right they do all the things that

People are injecting stem cells and paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for therapies for.

And if you could get the same benefits with re-embracing childhood wonder and play for free, people should probably know that.

So that's kind of the thesis of the book.

I mean, it's...

So yes, the mind is dominant, right?

Because the mind is where our ego lives.

And when we're trained into a state of self-protection because we believe the world around us is unsafe for any reason, then the grip of the mind takes hold.

And

puts our bodies into a state where we resist change and learning.

And so this is actually what I call in the book Dr. Dave's Mind Blowers, which are these very simple concepts that have been taught incorrectly in modern education.

And by modern education, I mean for the last couple hundred years.

that we still teach these incorrectly like for instance we teach that the mind and the body are disconnected but we know and separate but we know definitively that if you are mentally and emotionally ill for an extended period of time and you don't do anything about it you do become physically ill oh yeah

We know that stress increases your heart rate and your blood pressure and your breath rate.

And we know that when you slow your breath rate intentionally by choice, your heart rate comes down and your thoughts slow down and you start to feel better within 90 to 120 seconds.
