Episode notes
Subconscious Is Automated Brain Routine
- Subconscious behaviors are not mystical; they are automated brain routines formed by repetition and consent to automate.
- Lee Warren calls this the consent to automate sequence and describes these as energy-saving programs like driving without thinking.
War Surgery And Personal Loss Shaped His Approach
- Lee Warren shares combat and personal loss experiences that shaped his understanding of brain-driven habits.
- He recounts 200 brain surgeries in Iraq, surviving mortar attacks, divorce, and the 2013 murder of his son Mitch as context for rewiring his mind.
