On Sunday morning, I sat down in my comfy office chair to meditate. I noticed I felt alone, so I stopped meditating and concentrated on the physical sensations in my chest and throat. So far, so good. But then I remembered feeling alone as a kid. I wondered what was underneath it. Tried to figure out what it meant. Within minutes, everything in my office felt like it was behind glass. My partner walked by and seemed like a complete stranger. That's dissociation. It’s zero fun

I was wrong. All 4672 times I said we overthink because we’re smart. The truth is: We overthink because we’re not smart enough. Let me explain. We're born with the potential to be smart in two ways: Analytic, logical intelligence Emotional intelligence and intuitive insight But we only use the first kind. We develop it in school, where right answers are the key to gold stars. Every question in school has a right answer. We keep doubling down on analysis and logic all the way
