Mo, I know this may not necessarily be your mandate, but I think it would be very helpful and very interesting if you were to hold the occasional zoom gatherings where the participants could ask questions of yourself and your chosen guests with regard to the subjects that are obviously of great interest to you - alleviating stress for the masses, publishing, etc. As an author and long-time meditator, I would personally consider it a wonderful opportunity to share.

I get you with the "mystical" part (around min 30). I wrote a book a couple years ago and I wanted everything to be super clear and easy to understand. The problem is, this makes the book dry, boring, and especially when it comes to psychology, people don't understand things unless there's an emotional aspect. For all genres, I would say the best advice I've heard on this is "don't give the reader 4, give them 2+2". This engages them and actually makes it easier to understand what you've written. This is what I'm currently working on with my second attempt and the results are a million times better so far. Anyway, interesting conversation, thanks for sharing with us!

Что я здесь делаю в 6 утра 🤷.. Но интересно... Мо. . .. , скажите: что происходит с нами во снах? Почему я вижу странные сны ...очень странные , иногда просто фантастичные из нереального мира или будущего реального мира 🤷...
