Neuroplasticity is a life-changing idea.
But to unlock it you must understand it in simple terms, and 99% of the writing about it comes from PhDs who make it unnecessarily complex. Bastards.
I first heard about neuroplasticity from a Tony Robbins event. I cheered, laughed, and rah-rah’d my way to the end of the event. In the last hour on that day, Tony introduced the idea of neuroplasticity. I was ready to switch off and sleep.
But Tony quickly pivoted to how people used it to change their lives.
This got my attention because I was a drunken, burned out, fat slob at the time. I’d been trying to change my life for years and nothing worked. Then I realized what Tony was trying to say.
Wanting to change isn’t enough. Having a dream isn’t enough. Good intentions aren’t enough. The only way to experience real change is to first change your brain.
Neuroplasticity is the secret high performers have known about for years.
It’s still not mainstream. But if you understand it you can literally achieve any goal & rise to the top of your field while the high school bullies scream “How’d they do that?”
Let me explain the power of neuroplasticity and how to use it in under a few minutes, without all the psychological jargon and brain science.
The woman who didn’t like her brain and built a new one
Barbara Arrowsmith-Young (not a character in Game of Thrones) grew up in a confusing, messed-up world.
On the surface she was a bright spark. Einstein-level genius in some respects. But there were freaking holes in her brain.
She couldn’t do simple things like tell the time because her brain couldn’t grasp the relationship between the hour and minute hands. She couldn’t for the life of her understand cause and effect. If she heard the sentence, “Tim was punched by a big girl driving a Tesla,” she couldn’t tell you who was bruised and who was doing the punching.
Nothing made sense in Barbara’s mad world. It was nearly time for her to adopt a label and take pills to solve it while telling people “Oh well, I’m broken and therefore can’t get a job or be part of society.”
The geniuses of the 50s and 60s while smoking ciggies with grins on their faces told her she was retarded in some areas… and there was nothing she could do.
She’d have to learn to live with it.
99% of people accept their diagnosis. It holds them back in life.
But not Barbara. She quietly said to herself “F U.” The issue wasn’t the doctors in white coats or the beautiful array of pills she could have gotten high off for the rest of her life while on a comfy pension. No.
The issue was that the adult brain was considered fixed and immutable.
You get the brain you’ve got and if you don’t like it, pal, tough t!tties.
But Barbara stumbled upon a different idea. One that was radical, and extremely unconventional at the time. She began to wonder:
> If the brain can change itself, why can’t I build the parts I’m missing?
Barbara didn’t waste any time, bless her soul. She turned on psychopath mode and began doing extreme mental calisthenics. She’d sit in front of clocks for 100s of hours and force her “retarded” brain to figure out the relationship between the hands.
It was torture. It was pure exhaustion.
And Barbara loved thinking she was a crazy b*tch for doing it.
Out of nowhere, one afternoon, the brain fog lifted. She could tell the time. Shortly after she could finally understand grammar. Lastly, she finally understood logic.
This wasn’t an accident. Or a Tim Ferriss life hack from the 4-hour workweek. She had permanently and physically altered the neural pathways of her own mind.
On the surface she solved a learning disability. But at a much deeper level she proved the brain can change at any age. It’s a living system you can give instructions to, and program to do and believe whatever you want.
Barbara discovered what we now call neuroplasticity.
Neuroplasticity is the solution to every problem in life
You’re likely not like Barbara. You probably don’t have a learning disability and doctors don’t call you retarded (although Andrew Tat3 bros might).
But everyone including me experiences anxiety, limiting beliefs, disempowering thought patterns, and failure. It’s easy to treat these traits or experiences as permanent. And… until you realize they’re not, nothing will change.
Got divorced? Lost your job? Loved one died? Dog got cancer? Someone stole your life savings? The traditional route is to replay these scenarios over and over in your mind until they steal your personal power.
They become roadblocks, limitations, and dare I say it, excuses.
Neuroplasticity is different. You don’t seek to reminisce or focus on the past. You seek to change your brain. To rewire it. To reprogram it.
The meaning of a situation is whatever meaning you give it.
Once you understand your brain can radically change whenever you want, you start to become the architect of it instead of its slave.
Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to rewire itself based on repeated experience. But what people misunderstand is it’s not something you turn on. It’s already happening. What matters is, are you rewiring your brain every day in your favor or to accidentally work against you?
Right now as you read this, your brain is wiring itself around:
- What you focus on
- What you practice
- What you emotionally react to
Your brain is made of billions of neurons connected by pathways. When you repeat something, those pathways get stronger and faster. When you stop using something, those pathways weaken or disappear.
It’s like a trail in the Amazon rainforest:
- Walk it once → barely visible
- Walk it daily → becomes a clear path
- Ignore it → it gets overgrown
The challenge is to walk the right paths every day in your mind that are good for you, not walk the bad paths that are full of addiction and weakness.
Self-improvement lied to you. Goals are bullsh*t.
I’ve long believed self-improvement is bullsh*t. Now I know for sure it is. Neuroscience proves it.
Your brain controls everything. And it doesn’t give a flying f*ck about your goals, intentions, or Lambo vision boards. Nope.
Your brain asks itself one question repeatedly like a psycho: “What should I get better at?” And it answers based on your behavior, not your goals.
Dr Dominic NG explains:
> The secret to becoming who you want to be is just pretending you already are. As a neuroscientist, it’s action that rewires the brain. Not the other way around.
You can wank off all day to how you want to start a business, have more freedom, and get wealthy. Your mind doesn’t care. Your actions shape your mind.
Writer Eduardo Briceno explains:
Neuroplasticity rewards repetition, not intention. Your brain doesn’t care that you wanted to exercise. It only knows that you did exercise, fifty days in a row.
The bottom line is wanting an outcome is ridiculously stupid. Stop it. Instead, repeat the behavior attached to the outcome you want. If you want to be fit, then show your brain the actions of what a fit person does every day. It’ll then rewire your brain toward the new behavior using neuroplasticity.
I did this with writing. I always wanted to be a writer. But I had no clue. So I wrote online every day and published 7000+ essays. Along the way, I got offered a book deal from Penguin with a 6-figure advance.
Feels like a Houdini magic trick once you understand this.
The simple path to achieve stupidly big goals
When you have a new goal, like becoming an entrepreneur, you’re effectively trying to leave behind your old employee identity.
People make the mistake of waiting for their identity to change. Or mapping out the change of identity as if it’s a 4 year university degree from Harvard.
Worse, some aren’t even aware they need a new identity to achieve their goal. They think an employee mindset will help them invest $500K in their self-education and build a $1M per month online business. It’s laughable.
The brain is smarter than we give it credit for. It doesn’t wait for your identity to change. The daily actions you take create new neural pathways, and slowly the brain starts treating whatever new behavior you’ve embraced as the new normal.
Act first. Identity catches up later.
> You don’t think your way into a new identity. You act your way into one – @mindpressmedia
But I can’t change… wah wah wah
Neuroplasticity is the discovery that the “map” of who you are is written in pencil, not ink.
You can 100% change. That’s not the question. The question is “Are you willing to change?” Most people will answer yes, but then they’ll sit on the couch and not take actions that demonstrate real change.
So their brains will just wire themselves to do more of nothing and they’ll keep blaming the president, society, enemies, gurus, or whatever other target they can find.
Wanting to change isn’t a feeling or a goal you assign to 2028. It’s a decision. Your brain cannot work in your favor until you decide change is a must today.
This part of neuroplasticity pisses people off
Andrew Huberman says “Errors are the basis for neuroplasticity and learning.” Read that again. If you want to rewire your brain you must make more errors.
But people-pleasing humans hate making errors. We do everything we can to avoid them. We hate the feeling of making an error. And so our brains can’t experience the magnificent power of neuroplasticity.
High performers love making errors and that’s why they get what they want in life. Average people hate making errors and don’t learn much which is why they feel like cr*p and can’t explain why.
Make more errors with the Joker’s smile on your pretty little face.
There’s a huge downside of neuroplasticity that cannot be avoided
Earlier, I said the brain is rewiring itself no matter what. This isn’t a new idea. If you’re not aware of neuroplasticity, it’s likely been working against you since birth.
The problem with neuroplasticity is it works in reverse too. Stress can rewire your brain in the wrong direction. Chronic stress strengthens neural pathways for anxiety, fear, and overreaction.
This means your brain harnesses the power of neuroplasticity to make you better at being stressed.
Boy, the world now makes a lot more sense, right?
Now you know why the average person is in outrage mode 24/7 and throwing bananas at their TV when a politician says something they don’t like. They trained their brains to overreact and produce this state of mind.
The brain isn’t smart enough to know what new neural pathways will work in your favor and which ones will destroy your life. It just automates whatever you repeat.
The whole dumb-dumb movement the Atomic Habits book created about choosing better habits may actually be life-changing after all. All we need now is Mark Manson to write a new version and put the F-Word in the title to make it cool and hip.
> Repetition is how your mind learns. Not motivation. Not inspiration. Repetition. Do something consistently, and your subconscious accepts it as truth. That’s how you reprogram.
> – S.M. Brain Coach
Here’s how to make neuroplasticity work for you instead of wage war against you
I will keep this part simple.
1. Figure out what you want your brain to get good at
You now know your brain doesn’t give a f*ck about your goals or intentions. Decide what actions you are going to take and repeat.
If you:
- Check your phone 80 times a day → you train distraction
- Write every morning → you train clarity
- Avoid hard things → you train avoidance
The first step is the hardest one. You must pick the behavior, not the outcome.
Instead of “I will build a 6-figure business” like every other dreamer, make the daily action to pitch your offer to an email list. Instead of “Write a book” like a starving romantic artist in a wife-beater singlet, make the goal “Write daily on social media before 9am.”
2. Use repetition like a freaking bazooka
Neuroplasticity runs on frequency.
- Once = nothing
- Occasionally = weak wiring
- Daily = identity shift
You need boring consistency to get neuroplasticity working in your favor. The brain rewires itself when something becomes normal – not when it’s exciting, nice to have, or makes you rich on Instagram.
High performers go a step further. They add intensity + obsession.
3. Bleed out the patterns you don’t want
Many people mistakenly see neuroplasticity as adding positive actions and behaviors. That’s only half the story. It’s also about subtraction. Mental pruning as they call it.
Unused neural pathways weaken. So remove negative triggers, make your bad habits harder to practice, and interrupt bad new behaviors as early as possible.
You can’t fight bad habits like a gladiator and win. You can only starve those pieces of sh*t by removing their oxygen supply and letting them bleed out on the curb until they can’t survive in your head anymore.
4. Give the brain enough time to rewire itself
Neuroplasticity doesn’t make dreams of Lambos a reality in a day. It needs time to work its magic. Here are the rough timelines:
- Week 1: friction
- Week 2–3: familiarity
- Week 4+: automaticity begins
Unsuccessful people quit right before the new neural pathways are built and the brain has completely changed. They’re impatient suckers in diapers. Instead, give your brain time to adapt to the new behavior.
If the new behavior still feels hard, it means neuroplasticity is working. Sing hallelujah.
The uncomfortable truth
Neuroplasticity isn’t new. Tim Denning didn’t invent it (son of a gun).
Neuroplasticity has existed since humans took over from the dinosaurs and got together after a giant big bang (giggity giggity). Neuroplasticity is on. It’s working right now. It’s been running your life.
So the real question isn’t, “Timbo, can I really change my brain and be a special snowflake like you?” Nope. The hard, uncomfortable question is this:
“What am I currently training my brain to become?”
Because whether you’re consciously aware of it or not, you’ve been training your mind every day for your entire life.
The software is already running in your brain. Now the decision is, do you want to take back control from the drunk driver that’s been programming your brain to date?
If so, change your behavior. Reinforce it with repetition. Let neuroplasticity do the rest.

# 一旦你理解了神经可塑性，你的人生将彻底改变

神经可塑性是一个能改变人生的理念。
但要解锁它，你必须用简单的语言去理解它，而99%关于它的文章都出自那些把它写得毫无必要地复杂的博士之手。混蛋。
我第一次听说神经可塑性是在一场托尼·罗宾斯的活动中。我欢呼、大笑、热血沸腾地撑到了活动结束。在当天最后一个小时，托尼介绍了神经可塑性的概念。我当时已经准备关掉脑子睡大觉了。
但托尼很快转到了人们如何用它改变自己的生活。
这引起了我的注意，因为那时的我是个酗酒、身心俱疲、肥胖的懒汉。多年来我一直在尝试改变自己的生活，但毫无效果。然后我明白了托尼想说的是什么。
想改变是不够的。拥有梦想是不够的。善意也是不够的。要经历真正的改变，唯一的方法是先改变你的大脑。
神经可塑性是那些高效能人士多年来早已知晓的秘密。
它至今仍未成为主流。但如果你理解了它，你几乎可以实现任何目标，攀登到你所在领域的顶峰，而当年高中的恶霸们会惊呼：“他们是怎么做到的？”
让我用几分钟时间解释神经可塑性的力量以及如何运用它，不掺杂任何心理学术语和脑科学。
## 不喜欢自己大脑、于是重建了一个新大脑的女人
芭芭拉·阿罗史密斯-杨（Barbara Arrowsmith-Young，不是《权力的游戏》里的角色）成长于一个混乱、一团糟的世界。
表面上她是个聪明伶俐的人。在某些方面有着爱因斯坦级别的天才。但她的大脑里存在着该死的漏洞。
她连分辨时间这种简单的事都做不到，因为她的大脑无法理解时针和分针之间的关系。她无论如何也无法理解因果关系。如果她听到“蒂姆被一个开特斯拉的高大女孩打了”这句话，她说不出谁被打得鼻青脸肿、谁在动手。
在芭芭拉那个疯狂的世界里，一切都没有意义。她几乎到了该给自己贴一个标签、靠吃药来解决问题的时候，然后告诉别人：“唉，我是残缺的，所以没法找工作，也没法融入社会。”
五六十年代的那些天才们一边叼着香烟、一脸得意地告诉她，她在某些方面是弱智的……而且她无能为力。
她只能学会与之共存。
99%的人接受了自己的诊断。这阻碍了他们的人生。
但芭芭拉没有。她默默对自己说了句“去你的”。问题不在于穿白大褂的医生，也不在于那一堆她本可以嗑上一辈子、还能舒舒服服领着养老金的漂亮药片。不是。
问题在于，成年人的大脑被认为是固定不变、不可更改的。
你有什么样的大脑就是什么样，如果你不喜欢它，伙计，那真倒霉。
但芭芭拉偶然发现了一个不同的想法。一个在当时激进至极、极其非主流的想法。她开始思考：
> 如果大脑能够改变自己，为什么我不能构建我所缺失的部分？
芭芭拉没有浪费时间，愿上帝保佑她。她开启了“疯子模式”，开始进行极端的脑力体操。她会坐在时钟前几百个小时，强迫她那“弱智”的大脑搞清楚指针之间的关系。
那是折磨。那是纯粹的精疲力竭。
而芭芭拉很享受，她觉得自己这么做简直是个疯女人。
不知从哪一天起，一个下午，脑中的迷雾散开了。她能看懂时间了。不久之后，她终于理解了语法。最后，她终于理解了逻辑。
这不是偶然。也不是《每周工作4小时》里蒂姆·费里斯式的人生捷径。她永久性地、物理性地改变了自己大脑中的神经通路。
表面上她解决了一个学习障碍。但在更深的层面上，她证明了大脑在任何年龄都可以改变。大脑是一个活的系统，你可以向它下达指令，把它编程去做任何你想做的事、相信任何你想相信的东西。
芭芭拉发现了我们如今所说的神经可塑性。
## 神经可塑性是解决人生所有问题的答案
你大概不像芭芭拉。你可能没有学习障碍，医生也不会说你弱智（尽管Andrew Tat3的兄弟们可能会）。
但包括我在内的每个人都会经历焦虑、限制性信念、消极的思维模式和失败。人们很容易把这些特质或经历当作永久的。而且……在你意识到它们并非永久之前，什么都不会改变。
离婚了？失业了？挚爱的人去世了？狗得了癌症？有人偷走了你一生的积蓄？传统的方式是在脑海中一遍又一遍地回放这些场景，直到它们夺走你的个人力量。
它们变成路障、限制，恕我直言——借口。
神经可塑性则不同。你不是去追忆或专注于过去。你寻求的是改变你的大脑。重新连接它。重新编程它。
一个情境的意义，就是你赋予它的意义。
一旦你明白你的大脑可以在任何时候彻底改变，你就开始成为它的建筑师，而不是它的奴隶。
神经可塑性是大脑基于重复经验重新连接自身的能力。但人们误解的一点是，它不是你需要打开的开关。它一直在发生。真正重要的是，你每天都在朝着有利于你的方向重塑大脑，还是在不知不觉中朝着不利于你的方向重塑？
就在你读这篇文章的此刻，你的大脑正在围绕以下内容进行自我连接：
- 你关注的东西
- 你练习的东西
- 你产生情绪反应的东西
你的大脑由数十亿个神经元通过通路连接而成。当你重复某件事时，那些通路会变得更强、更快。当你停止使用某样东西时，那些通路会变弱或消失。
这就像亚马逊雨林中的一条小径：
- 走一次 → 几乎看不见
- 每天走 → 变成一条清晰的小路
- 不理会 → 被杂草覆盖
挑战在于，每天在你的头脑中走那些对你有益的正确路径，而不是走那些充满成瘾和软弱的不良路径。
自我提升骗了你。目标都是扯淡。
长期以来我一直认为自我提升是扯淡。现在我确定它就是。神经科学证明了这一点。
你的大脑控制着一切。而它根本不在乎你的目标、意图或兰博基尼愿景板。完全不在乎。
你的大脑像个疯子一样反复问自己一个问题：“我该在哪方面变得更好？”而它根据的是你的行为，而不是你的目标。
Dominic NG 博士解释道：
> 成为你想成为的人的秘诀，就是假装你已经是了。作为一名神经科学家，我认为是行动在重塑大脑，而不是反过来。
你可以整天幻想自己要创业、要获得更多自由、要变得富有。你的大脑不在乎。是行动塑造你的心智。
作家 Eduardo Briceno 解释道：
神经可塑性奖励的是重复，而非意图。你的大脑不在乎你想锻炼。它只知道你确实锻炼了，连续五十天。
归根结底，只想要一个结果是极其愚蠢的。别这样。相反，去重复与你想得到的结果相关的行为。如果你想变得健康，那就每天向你的大脑展示一个健康的人所做的行为。然后它会利用神经可塑性，将你的大脑重新连接向新的行为。
我在写作上就是这么做的。我一直想成为一名作家。但我毫无头绪。所以我每天在网上写作，发布了 7000 多篇文章。在此过程中，企鹅出版社向我提供了出书合同，预付金达六位数。
一旦你理解了这一点，感觉就像胡迪尼的魔术一样神奇。
实现超乎想象大目标的简单路径
当你有一个新目标时，比如成为一名创业者，你实际上是在试图摆脱旧有的雇员身份。
人们常犯的错误是等待自己的身份发生改变。或者像规划哈佛四年大学学位一样去规划身份的转变。
更糟的是，有些人甚至没有意识到他们需要一个新的身份才能实现目标。他们以为用雇员思维就能投资 50 万美元进行自我教育，并建立一个每月 100 万美元的在线生意。真是可笑。
大脑比我们以为的要聪明。它不会等待你的身份改变。你每天采取的行动会创造新的神经通路，慢慢地，大脑开始将你拥抱的任何新行为视为新的常态。
先行动。身份随后跟上。
> 你无法通过思考进入新的身份。你只能通过行动进入新的身份 – @mindpressmedia
但我就是改变不了……呜呜呜
神经可塑性的发现是：关于“你是谁”的这张地图是用铅笔写的，而不是墨水。
你百分之百可以改变。这不是问题所在。问题在于“你愿意改变吗？”大多数人会回答愿意，但随后他们会坐在沙发上，不采取任何能证明真正改变的行动。
于是他们的大脑就会把自己连接成继续无所作为，而他们会继续指责总统、社会、敌人、大师，或者其他任何他们能找到的目标。
想要改变不是一种感觉，也不是你分配给 2028 年的一个目标。它是一个决定。在你决定改变是今天必须做的事之前，你的大脑无法为你效力。
神经可塑性的这一部分会让人们恼火
Andrew Huberman 说：“错误是神经可塑性和学习的基础。”再读一遍。如果你想重塑大脑，你必须犯更多的错误。
但讨好型的人类讨厌犯错。我们竭尽所能去避免犯错。我们讨厌犯错的感觉。因此，我们的大脑无法体验神经可塑性的强大力量。
高成就者热爱犯错，这就是他们在生活中得到想要的东西的原因。普通人讨厌犯错，学不到多少东西，这就是为什么他们感觉糟糕透了，却说不清原因。
带着小丑般的微笑，去犯更多的错误吧，就在你那张漂亮的小脸上。
神经可塑性有一个无法避免的巨大弊端
前面我说过，无论如何大脑都在重塑自己。这并不是什么新观点。如果你没有意识到神经可塑性的存在，那它很可能从你出生起就一直在与你作对。
神经可塑性的问题在于它也会反向运作。压力会把你的大脑重塑向错误的方向。慢性压力会强化焦虑、恐惧和过度反应的神经通路。
这意味着你的大脑会利用神经可塑性的力量，让你更擅长承受压力。
呵，现在这个世界一下子说得通了，对吧？
现在你知道为什么普通人一天 24 小时、一周 7 天都处于暴怒模式，当政客说了他们不喜欢的话时就朝电视扔香蕉了。他们训练自己的大脑去过度反应并产生这种心理状态。
大脑还不够聪明，无法分辨哪些新的神经通路会对你有利，哪些会毁掉你的生活。它只会把你重复的一切自动化。
《原子习惯》一书所掀起的整个“选好习惯”的傻傻运动，说不定真的能改变人生。现在我们只需要 Mark Manson 写一个新版本，并在书名里加上那个 F 开头的脏词，让它变得又酷又潮。
> 重复是你的心智学习的方式。不是动力。不是灵感。是重复。持续地做一件事，你的潜意识就会把它当作真理。这就是你重新编程的方式。
> – S.M. Brain Coach
以下是让神经可塑性为你效力、而不是与你为敌的方法
这一部分我会讲得简单些。
1. 弄清楚你想让大脑擅长什么
你现在知道了，你的大脑根本不在乎你的目标或意图。决定你要采取并重复哪些行动。
如果你：
- 每天看手机 80 次 → 你在训练分心
- 每天早上写作 → 你在训练清晰思维
- 回避困难的事情 → 你在训练逃避
第一步是最难的。你必须选择行为，而不是结果。
不要像其他做梦的人一样说“我要打造一个六位数收入的生意”，而是把每天的行动定为向你的邮件列表推销你的产品。不要像穿着白色背心的落魄文艺青年那样说“写一本书”，而是把目标定为“每天早上9点前在社交媒体上写作”。
2. 把重复当 bazooka 火箭筒一样用
神经可塑性靠频率运转。
- 一次 = 什么都不是
- 偶尔 = 微弱的连接
- 每天 = 身份的转变
你需要乏味的一致性，才能让神经可塑性为你所用。大脑是在某件事变得平常时才重塑自己的——而不是在它令人兴奋、锦上添花，或让你在 Instagram 上赚大钱的时候。
高表现者会更进一步。他们加上强度和痴迷。
3. 把你不想要的模式放血流干
很多人错误地把神经可塑性理解为增加积极的行为。那只是故事的一半。它还包括减法。也就是所谓的“心理修剪”。
不被使用的神经通路会变弱。所以，移除负面触发因素，让你的坏习惯更难执行，并尽早打断新的不良行为。
你无法像角斗士一样与坏习惯搏斗并获胜。你只能通过切断它们的氧气供应，让这些垃圾在路边放血流干，直到它们无法再在你的脑海中生存。
4. 给大脑足够的时间重塑自己
神经可塑性不会让你在一天内实现兰博基尼之梦。它需要时间来施展魔力。以下是大致的时间线：
- 第1周：阻力
- 第2–3周：熟悉感
- 第4周及以后：自动化开始
不成功的人往往在新的神经通路即将建成、大脑即将彻底改变之前放弃。他们就是穿着尿布的急躁蠢货。相反，给你的大脑时间去适应新行为。
如果新行为依然让你觉得困难，说明神经可塑性正在起作用。高唱哈利路亚吧。
令人不适的真相
神经可塑性并不是新事物。Tim Denning 没有发明它（这小子）。
神经可塑性自人类从恐龙手中接管地球、在大爆炸之后聚在一起时就已存在（嘿嘿嘿嘿）。神经可塑性一直是开启的。它现在就在运作。它一直在掌控你的人生。
所以真正的问题不是：“Timbo，我真的能改变我的大脑，成为像你一样特别的人吗？”不。这个艰难而令人不适的问题是：
“我目前正在把自己的大脑训练成什么？”
因为无论你是否有意识地意识到，你一生中的每一天都在训练你的心智。
这套软件已经在你的大脑中运行了。现在的问题是：你想不想从那个一直在给你大脑编程的醉驾司机手中夺回控制权？
如果想，那就改变你的行为。用重复来强化它。剩下的交给神经可塑性。
