Dr Caroline Leaf on how to grow your brain

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
