In this talk, Joseph:

• Encourages us to notice when we become aware of our own thinking
• Highlights the importance of recognizing the themes of our thoughts
• Emphasizes that the past and the future are conceptual models
• Examines the very nature of thought itself

“When we’re unaware of thoughts, unmindful, they have so much power in our lives, they;re really directing our lives. And yet when we are mindful of them, as I say, it is a little more than nothing.”
