Kindle Notes & Highlights
Your family of origin, your culture, your friends, your work, every movie you’ve watched, every conversation you’ve had – these have all left their footprints in your nervous system. These indelible, microscopic impressions accumulate to make you who you are, and to constrain who you can become.
So who you are depends on what your neurons are up to, moment by moment.
You don’t perceive objects as they are. You perceive them as you are.
The real world is not full of rich sensory events; instead, our brains light up the world with their own sensuality.
our lives are steered by forces far beyond our capacity for awareness or control.
