Here’s a reframe that will change some people’s lives forever: Your mind is the outcome of genetics, traumas and hacks.

If you don’t learn to hack (program) your own brain, the default is that you are little more than genes and traumas.

An example of a brain hack is education. It is a conscious choice to physically alter your brain via learning. Another hack is intelligent skill stacking.

Associating self-rewards with habits you want to deepen is a hack.

Learning to reframe your experiences is a hack. Learning to see reality as subjective is a hack. Learning to avoid “emotion pollution” from entertainment products is a hack.

Reframing sleep as a skill that can be learned is a hack.

Learning to put things in context is a hack. Practicing optimism is a hack.

If you make it your system (habit) to routinely learn and test new hacks, you become the author of your own mind, and — because your experience of reality is subjective — the author of your own experience.

Dude please teach us how to hack sleep as a skill. I am severely lacking in this skill.

Scott just discovered Nature and Nurture. And he is acting like it’s new. (I sense another book that is selling old wine in new bottles)

Reframing is how you teach people that didn’t catch on the first time. He doesn’t act as if it’s new, he presents it in a different light. Thus making it potentially useful for those that can't readily apply the concept of nature and nurture to different frameworks.

Can we make a word that’s the opposite of trauma in this context? Like something really good that affected your development. I feel like balancing out the plethora of ails we’ve named with just as specific names for benefits could help people better frame their problems

Another reframe (avoiding hack): Your brain is like a computer. There's an operating system (genetics) and there are programs. Some are bloatware (culture), some are malware (trauma), some are useful programs.
YOU are the admin of your brain. YOU choose what program to run.
