Mind, Brain, and Mindfulness: A Virtuous Ménage à Trois
Tad Bogdan's excerpt explores the interplay between the mind, brain, and mindfulness, portraying them as a "ménage à trois" that influences thinking processes. The text introduces the concept of Mind-Body Dualism, suggesting the mind engages in slow, analytical thinking, while the brain operates with fast, reflexive responses. The ORA Formula is presented as a methodology for managing engaged thinking. Mindfulness is presented as a tool to reduce stress and promote creative thought by focusing on the present, distinct from past and future concerns. Techniques for achieving mindfulness, like meditation and focused contemplation, are mentioned as a way to balance the engaged and reflexive thinking processes. Ultimately, the text advocates for consciously managing these three components to optimize decision-making and personal well-being.
