Part I: The Mind That Never Sleeps

Chapters 1–5 · Recognizing the pattern

Before anything can change, it has to be seen. The first part of this

book asks you to do something simple and surprisingly hard: to look at your own thinking with curiosity instead of judgment. You will

meet the late-night replay, learn how useful thinking differs from the

exhausting kind, and look closely at old conversations, old regrets,

and the impossible demand for a perfect answer. Nothing here asks you to fix yourself. It asks you only to notice.
