That looks interesting. The description I found on Amazon:
In his debut writing, Rob Brinded shares the results of his 30-year journey to discover the source of optimal health and well-being. Rob begins by recounting a realization he had while analyzing one of the world's best athletes. This pivotal epiphany sent him tumbling down a rabbit hole of research into the realm where the true nature of physical pain resides. In this concise work, Rob:
  • Reveals that the greatest tyrant in our lives is our own mind, and that the smarter we are, the harder it is to see.
  • Explains how our minds create deep programs in our unconscious that are glitchy by design, and how these programs can lead to physical pain, emotional distress, and even disease.
  • Explores how to access flow state, or "no mind," where our bodies can heal and repair themselves naturally, reaching beyond normal meditation while activating an MMA-styled Meditation OS.
  • Shows us how to change our behavior by changing our minds, and how to take control of our health by clearing the thought programs that drain you.
This book is a must-read for anyone who is serious about achieving optimal health and well-being. It is a powerful and transformative guide that will help you to break free from the tyranny of your mind and live a life of greater freedom, joy, and peace.
Can you recommend this book? It's also only 107 pages so should be a quick read for a week for me.

Interesting, on my reading list now.
I can’t quite explain what’s happening with me.
Things have been more instinctual in terms of big decision making. I just made a giant career change that younger me would have had months of consternation about. Confusion and anxiety.
I’m in a place where I have a strong enough desire for bitcoin, and I just do whatever I need to do to get there.
But I not only want bitcoin for greedy self interested reasons, I want to contribute education wise. Working on projects and focusing my efforts, whereas before, everything was half finished projects or ideas never executed.
I’m in a strange low and high time preference state at the same time.
I don’t question myself as much, just do the best based on my experiences and acknowledgment of my ignorance.

Yes, it is a short and easy read. It is an introduction and a start to another branch of the rabbit hole exploring the human subconsciousness. However this is also quite a deep rabbit hole requiring a lot of further reading.
