The most dangerous, oddly glorified, yet overlooked problem in the world:

Overthinking and underacting.

It's why you're stressed, depressed, and your immune system is always in chaos.

Here's Eckhart Tolle's 9-step protocol to escape the prison of overthinking: 🧵
Most people don't realize that unnecessary negative mind activity contributes significantly to their unhappiness.

Overthinking isn't just annoying - it's physically damaging your body...

When you think fearful thoughts, your body reacts as if you're in real danger.

Here's what's happening in the mind...

Nearly 100 years ago, a famous psychiatrist discovered a psychological shortcut that made desperate people believe almost anything.

It wasn’t about money.
It was about healing.

And it worked so well that even scientists stopped asking questions.

Here’s the forgotten story: 🧵 Wilhelm Reich wasn’t a fringe guru.

He was:
• a medical doctor
• a psychoanalyst
• Freud’s star student
• a rising force in European psychiatry

At first, everything he said made sense.

Then it crossed a line science couldn’t follow.

Here are 7 truths Freud revealed in private letters—
(They never made it into textbooks):🧵

1/ Freud wasn’t a “mental health advocate.” He was a neurologist who watched people lie to themselves for a living.

His cleanest ideas weren’t written for the public.

Truth #1: The biggest threat isn’t pain. It’s self-deception.

Pain is honest. Illusion is a drug.

And every drug charges interest.

Bottom line: Most people suffer from the stories they refuse to stop feeding themselves.

One of the most extreme psychological transformations ever recorded didn’t happen in therapy.

It didn’t happen in safety.
It didn’t happen with insight.

It happened inside a Nazi concentration camp.

And the mechanism still explains why most anxiety treatments FAIL today.

Here’s the story: 🧵 In 1942, a Viennese psychiatrist lost everything.

• His parents
• His wife
• His freedom
• His name

He was reduced to a number.

Most prisoners collapsed psychologically within weeks.

He didn’t.

The most influential psychologist of the 20th century wrote private letters to his children.

They weren’t about therapy.

They were about how to survive being human without losing your soul.

Here are 9 principles Carl Jung QUIETLY taught his children—that most people never hear about: 🧵 First, understand who Jung was:

• Medical doctor + psychiatrist
• Founder of analytical psychology
• Broke with Freud at the height of his career
• Studied myth, religion, alchemy, and dreams
• Treated world leaders, artists, and thinkers

But his most radical work wasn’t in books.

It was in how he taught his children to live.

Some people are disappearing into the woods.

No stories. No updates. No “prove I’m alive.”

In 2025, their absence is louder than a post.

Because they’re not “unplugging.”

They’re rebooting 7 brain systems, the internet quietly BURNS OUT. 🧵 #1 They’re protecting their dopamine system.

Social apps run on variable reward schedules.
Random likes. Random outrage. Random validation.

That spikes dopamine and trains the brain to crave more input.

Nature does the opposite.

Slow movement + predictable sensory input
= dopamine normalization.

Your brain remembers how to feel satisfied again.

The West didn’t lose God.
It lost the container that made life feel coherent.

Now millions are “fine”…
but quietly hollow, anxious, and divided.

Here are 7 consequences nobody was prepared for:🧵

1/ Humans never stopped worshipping something. Now, the "self" has become a full-time job.

Without transcendence, the psyche tries to be its OWN god.

So you:
• brand your life.
• justify your worth.
• curate your identity.
• optimize your body.

You might think you have anxiety.

But these 8 symptoms can mean you’re NOT anxious—

(You’re mentally over-managed and emotionally starved.) 🧵 #1 You overthink everything.

You stay 100% in your Executive Control Network (ECN) and abandon imaginative thinking.

By doing this, you bury your feelings.
And, you stay stuck in reason.

After analyzing 500+ anxious clients, I found the cause behind most chronic anxiety loops.

It’s not trauma, stress, or overthinking.

It’s a SINGLE morning habit almost everyone does without realizing it... 🧵
(And, the psychological cost is staggering) Right when you wake up, your brain is in a fragile transition state.

1. The Salience Network is calibrating.
2. The DMN is still half-dreaming.
3. Blood pressure hasn’t stabilized yet.
4. Your imaginative system is wide open.

But then you do something catastrophic…

The most encouraged mental illness millions are suffering from...

Chronic Lying.

It's literally destroying your brain, your relationships, and even causes Alzheimer's.

Here's the science behind humanity's FAVORITE addiction: 🧵 Fact #1: The first victim of lying is the LIER.

2024 data is BLUNT: across multiple studies (including day-to-day tracking), lying reliably drops self-esteem and increases negative emotion—even when the lie is “small” or meant to help someone.

The most dangerous, oddly glorified, yet overlooked problem in the world:

Chronic Procrastination.

It's why you're stressed, anxious, and depressed, and why your immune system is in chaos.

Here's Andrew Huberman's 7-step protocol to escape the prison of procrastination: 🧵 First, let's understand what really happens in your brain when you're procrastinating.

It's a dopamine problem.

Huberman discovered that without sufficient baseline dopamine, you literally CAN'T feel motivated—no matter how hard you try.

I'm 64.

When I was young, I wasted years lost, anxious, and depressed…

Then I found Friedrich Nietzsche's "3 Metamorphoses", and it literally reprogrammed my reality.

This took me 40 years to realize. I'll teach you in less than a minute: 🧵
Nietzsche believes we are one of the 3 Metamorphoses of the Human Spirit:

• Lion
• Child
• Camel

Here's what each means, and why they matter:

The most dangerous thinking …

Isn’t overthinking.

It’s something far more common… and it’s probably ruining your brain right now.

Here’s what it is—and why it’s worse than you’ve been told: 🧵 Overthinking is harmful.

But there's a THINKING STYLE that does even more damage.

Some believe it's anxiety and stress. Nope.

It's called self-abandonment, and it
appears as chronic self-sabotage.

Most people think they’re “just stressed” or “bad at boundaries.”

Nope. Your nervous system is trapped in a Skinner Box.

B.F. Skinner used random rewards to keep rats pressing a lever until they collapsed.

Modern life does the same thing to humans.

Here’s how to tell if you’re in a Skinner Box—and a 3-step protocol to start breaking free today: ↓ Skinner built a controlled chamber where a rat pressed a lever for food.

He measured every variable and every response.
He found, within days, the rats were hooked.

They kept pressing levers for food, even when they were exhausted.

Harvard taught me how to treat the mind.

But the Dalai Lama taught me how to listen to it.

One encounter changed everything I knew about anxiety and fear.

Here's the ancient wisdom Western medicine is hiding from you—and why so many healing methods fail: 🧵

I earned my PhD at 32.
And I did my postdoc at Harvard.
I knew the science. I had the credentials.
But something in my soul still felt tense, fragmented, and incomplete...

This man who heals what doctors can't:

Jiddu Krishnamurti.

It's impossible to be psychologically trapped, stressed, or anxious after understanding his teachings.

Here's his 5-step approach to unlocking mental freedom: 🧵 At age 14, the Theosophical Society declared Krishnamurti the next World Teacher.

By 27, he was set to lead one of the largest spiritual organizations in the world.

Then he did something that shocked everyone...

Most people think healing childhood trauma requires years of therapies, pills or courses.

Nope. Your body needs a system reset.

Your vagus nerve is key to undoing decades of damage, yet 99% of people ignore it.

This took me 40 years to learn, I'll explain in 2 minutes: 🧵 Trauma is not stored in your memories.

It's trapped in your nervous system—keeping you stuck in "survival mode" 24/7.

Your brain literally can't access healing while it thinks you're under attack.

Here's why:

The most dangerous, oddly glorified, yet overlooked problem in the world:

Overthinking and underacting.

It's why you're stressed, depressed and your immune system is always in chaos.

Here's Eckhart Tolle's way to escape the prison of overthinking: 🧵
Most people don't realize that unnecessary negative mind activity generates a significant part of their unhappiness.

Overthinking isn't just annoying - it's physically damaging your body...

Your brain was NEVER designed for modern-day Western society.

As a Harvard-trained psychologist, here are 5 reasons why you:

-Can't sleep
-Overthink
-And, feel exhausted.

AND, the secret sauce to break free....🧵 Anxiety isn’t a “disorder.”

It's your imagination turned upside down.

Flip it--and your life becomes unimaginable success.

You’re not indecisive. You’re not “too nice.”

You’re stuck in a trauma loop of people-pleasing and overthinking.

It’s not your personality.

It’s your nervous system replaying old survival scripts.

Here’s the truth—(most therapists won't tell you) 🧵 Overthinking is thought to be a bad habit.

It’s not.

It’s a survival mechanism.

Same with people-pleasing.

People-pleasing isn't a kind of gracious personality trait.
It's a way you micro-manage your body's reaction to perceived threats.

Both overthinking and people-pleasing are reactions to perceived trauma.

This woman heals what therapists can't:

Byron Katie.

She spent years depressed and suicidal until one realization...

Now, with only 4 questions, she has healed millions from anxiety, stress, and overthinking.

Here's her philosophy: 🧵 Before her awakening, Byron Katie's life was a nightmare.

She was clinically depressed, agoraphobic, and addicted to alcohol. For nearly 10 years, she could barely leave her bedroom.

Self-hatred consumed her so completely she slept on the floor, feeling unworthy of a bed.
