Resumen del Editor

In this part, we discuss the most important concept in all of self-help, which is that our brains and bodies expect a much different world than the one in which they find themselves. This mismatch is the source of much confusion and unhappiness. Understanding what our bodies expect to find, and what they encounter instead, is the first step in resolving this inner turmoil. I also introduce the first sailboat I ever owned, and begin the tale of its maiden voyage from Baltimore to Charleston, South Carolina, one of the most harrowing sailing trips of my life.

Interesting science, good adventure

In this installment, Hugh Howey writes about first sailboat and the first trip he and a friend took on the boat from Baltimore to Charleston. He has way more guts than I do, and even though he knew what he was doing (somewhat) it turned in to a series of close calls and avoided disasters.

In the science and philosophy part he discusses how our bodies were built for a different time in human history than we are currently in and how our brains struggle to adapt and answer what the physical body is telling us. For instance our bodies were made to store food in expanding stomachs and fat cells as when food was found you ate as much as possible because there was no guarantee you would find food any time going forward; and crave sugars as they were relatively rare way back when. This explains so much. It is up to us to manage what our bodies tell us in a world where food and sweets are plentiful and available 24/7. This has been covered in depth in dietary science books, I'm sure but I'll never read one and Howey is an excellent writer and has the knack for explaining things succinctly.

I'm enjoying his series. BTW, he just announced that the sequel to Sand, titled Across the Sand, will be released this fall. Looking forward to that
