But what if you *knew* that with every single choice, however small, you’re tapping into that aMCC? Slowly but surely, you’re creating physical changes in your brain that will help you stick to your long-term goals and promises. **Treat every choice as an opportunity to strengthen your mental resilience.**

At that age I had a certain vision of the world, this very tidy, control-freak, Khalil Gibran–reading idea of nobility, like the way to be a good person was to hover righteously above all those weak, dopey sinners down there. Sort of a purity obsession. To go out in the Chicken Van every night was to constantly have that view undercut. Because the whole world was crazy and erratic and sinful. But the people I met were also sweet and weird and endearing. You’d get all of that in one night.
