| | + | == Topic Overview == |
| | + | Our approach focuses on three "problems" — [[anxiety]], [[distraction]], and [[Self-concepts|self-concepts]] — and three corresponding "solutions" — [[ideals]], [[work]], and [[service]]. Each problem-solution pair relates to a part of the brain: anxiety and ideals relate to the [[amygdala]] versus the [[appraisal cortex]]; distraction and work relate to [[Task Attention|task attention]] and [[Default Attention|default attention]]; and self-concepts and service relate to the [[Hemispheres of the Brain|left and right hemispheres]] of the brain. |
| | + | |
| | + | Resolving the problem, and striving for the solution involves applying the three parts of the soul — [[intellect]], [[memory]], and [[will]] — in a particular way. |
