Listen to a fascinating conversation with neurosurgeon Dr. Lee Warren about how the art of "Self-Brain Surgery" can change your life for the better. Do you want to have more peace, contentment and happiness? How about less ruminating and worrying? If so, Dr. Warren's teachings can help you.

We explore how the mind directs the brain, why most automatic thoughts are untrue, and how to use a “thought biopsy” to stop rumination, lower cortisol, and build realistic hope that holds up under grief and stress. Practical tools turn faith and neuroscience into daily habits that steady sleep, speech, and relationships.

• mind versus brain distinction and why it matters
• fMRI evidence of thoughts changing physiology
• neuroplasticity creating worry racetracks
• thought biopsy and replacement with realistic truths
• one-thought-at-a-time focus and gratitude anchors
• chronic stress, cortisol, and long-term health risk
• hope and meaning amid sorrow without toxic positivity
• shifting from patient to doctor of your own mind
• practical steps to feel calmer and act wiser
