In this conversation, Dr. Caroline Leaf inspires a song about the struggle for sanity in our crazy world. Dr. Leaf is a communication pathologist and cognitive neuroscientist and was one of the first in her field to study how the brain can change (neuroplasticity) with directed mind input.
During her years in clinical practice and her work with thousands of underprivileged teachers and students in her home country of South Africa and in the USA, she developed her theory (called the Geodesic Information Processing theory) of how we think, build memory, and learn, into tools and processes that have transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands of individuals with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), learning disabilities (ADD, ADHD), autism, dementias and mental ill-health issues like anxiety and depression. She has helped hundreds of thousands of students and adults learn how to use their mind to detox and grow their brain to succeed in every area of their lives, including school, university, and the workplace. https://drleaf.com/

THIS IS MAKING ME CRAZY
I can’t live in this place
It makes me crazy
All are wild with naked greed
To which somehow it seems that we have all agreed
I can’t live in a city
It makes me crazy
Overcrowded, poisoned air
Frowning face’s surrounding me everywhere
I can’t live with a job
It makes me crazy
Sold myself, get paid in stress
Now what I have left of my life’s worth so much less
When there's so much confusion
And so much is wrong
And so many people
Then I must be strong
When so much is wasted
And there's so much of strife
I need to change my life
I can’t live in a house
It makes me crazy
Even though I’ve too much stuff
What I have just never seems to be enough
I can’t live with a woman
They make me crazy
Always complaining, nothing’s right
All I get is criticism every night
When there's so much confusion
And so much is wrong
And so many people
Then I must be strong
When so much is wasted
And there's so much of strife
I need to change my life
I can’t live with a body
It makes me crazy
Aches and pains and colds and flu
And it never looks the way I want it to
I can’t live with a mind
It makes me crazy
Always talking, never peace
Even meditation gives me no release
I can’t live with myself
I make me crazy
Cos after all the things I’ve changed
I myself remain the same
