And it's interesting that in early Buddhism, the root of the word for craving is thirst. in the language of early Buddhism, thirst, something's missing. It's a drive state, biologically, hypothalamus-based.

It's quite something for people to realize that they can shift out of a flawed vehicle that they're familiar with, you know, deficit-based motivation, into a fullness, a different vehicle that you can still be motivated. You can still be a top performer. You can still have a work ethic. You can still have standards.

You can still achieve based on a sense of fullness already, good enough already, accomplished enough already, content already. And it helps people to realize I can step out of this rowboat. It's working for me, but it's costly. It's toxic over time.

There's tremendous evidence for the ways in which beneficial experiences can gradually shift people over time, and there's tremendous evidence for that. There's large evidence for the underlying neurological implementation of that process increasingly, what's happening in the hardware. That's really great.

There's been almost no study at all about internal factors in individuals, whether in formal clinical settings or informal life in general. What are the internal factors that lead to greater response to treatment or greater rate of change? It's kind of crazy. schools, there's the learning to learn movement that got interested in classroom settings for fifth graders.
