We talk with Dr. Mark McLaughlin, a neurosurgeon at Princeton Brain and Spine Care, who believes that all of us can benefit by taking the core principles behind brain surgery and applying them to any of life's problems.  It's a fascinating concept, and one that Dr. McLaughlin writes about in the book, "Out-Thinking Fear: A Neurosurgeon's Secrets for Making Life's Hard Decisions", which will be available in 2019. You can learn more about Dr. McLaughlin by checking out his website (http://www.markmclaughlinmd.com).   Note: This episode was previously aired.   Thanks to our sponsor of this episode!: Ritual’s Essential Protein is a delicious, plant-based protein powder with three distinct formulas designed to meet the body’s changing protein needs during different life stages.  There’s Daily Shake 18+, Daily Shake 50+ and Daily Shake Pregnancy and Postpartum.
