- It is possible to (literally) change your mind
- You can re-wire your brain if you really want to
- We consume toxins as the salience tends to be stronger than our self-control
- However, the neo-cortex of our brain always gives us the power to choose
- We can re-wire our brain through making resolutions; and crucially, by following through with them
- Our mind grows through self-control
- Every time we opt for abstinence over salience, our mind becomes stronger
- Every personal victory has an accumulative effect
- Every time we succumb to salience, our mind becomes weaker and we become more reliant on that toxin
- Will-power and persistence will inevitably result in success
- We need to practice will-power as often as we can
