The Half-Second Secret: The Hidden Gap Between Impulse and Thought
Your mind thinks it’s the CEO. Neuroscience says it’s the press secretary.

This gap suggests that the mind is not the originating agent of our lives, but a retroactive interpreter, a narrator that spins a story about actions that have already been initiated by a deeper intelligence.
This is not a self-help book about gaining more control; it is an investigation into why control is an illusion, and how dropping that illusion is the key to true efficiency.
