You Are Not A Frog · The Analytical Brain Trap: Why Smart People Can’t Switch Off · 3 Aug 2026 podcast

As we've discussed before, drinking alcohol is another brilliant way of dealing with it.

You know, it's not quite as wholesome and healthy and acceptable as meditation.

But, you know, all of these habits we have are all essentially trying to bring us back to the now, trying to bring us back to who we really are.

But then... And then you have a TIA, Rachel.

And then you go... And then it's like, oh, oh, no, I'm not in control here.

No, I did like the book.

And I think if you're new to looking in this direction, as we say, then it's a great way in.

And like you say, I think it's especially good for scientists because you've got all that, you know, she's a neuroanatomist and everything.

For me, I find it...

sort of unnecessarily complicated okay uh just because my one is to have as little on my mind as possible the last thing i want to be doing is you know in a situation is is forcing forcing myself to think more about anything like okay so hang on a minute is this is this left amygdala right and i think you know in in the book she she's quite up front about well you know there's a this isn't an exact science it's a it's a it there's there's a huge overlap so um

there are many, many more metaphors that we can use.

And as you know, I'm a simple man.

I just like to keep it as simple as possible.

And it's like, well, we're either in life, we're either fully present to what's going on, we're connected to life itself in that flow of life.

letting it live us, connected to wisdom and the oneness of life and others, you know, the bigger picture.

Or we're being distracted from that by the left brain output, by the computer mind and all of its analysis.

Because

Again, with that right brain consciousness being the default, with, you know, oneness is a fact.

The physicists will tell you that.

You can't not be a part of the oneness of life.
