What is going on with my sleep patterns?

What's going on with my circadian rhythms?

How much is drinking playing a role in this?

How much is my depression playing a role?

And what it led to is me developing a structure of self

which is at the core of what you talk about.

And it leads me to this question.

Why do you think people are trying to change their behavior so much without first understanding that structure of self?

I love what you're alluding to because for most of us, our primary care provider is the gateway into our health ecosystem.

And my wife is a primary care provider.

And one of the things she talks about all the time is how the insurance system is a thorn in their side because it really pays them based on volume.

And because of that volume, they're expecting you to see a patient every 15 to 20 minutes.

Now, luckily, when I was at the VA earlier this week for my yearly physical, my doctor who's a DO was using AI.

to help him circumvent having to do written medical records.

And he was telling me that it's been profound because it's given him an extra 10 to 15 minutes that he's now able to spend on patients instead of having to leave and write all it up.

But when you're that consumed on time, obviously you're not going to have the time to do what I did was start looking at every aspect of what was working and what's not.

so you approach this structure of the self using five different parts and i found these to be really interesting and they're unconscious conscious defense mechanisms character structure sense of self i'm going to start with unconscious and conscious because my first book that i wrote a few years ago i have a chapter

that basically goes into unconscious and conscious.

Mine is looking at it through a different lens.

I was looking at it more on how we're living our lives.
