C.E. Mason drove directly home. At his driveway, C.E. Mason bailed out of the car, which he left parked on the street next to his driveway. The engine was idling. C.E. Mason sprinted across the driveway to his front door and let himself in. There was a leafy weeping willow tree between C.E. Mason’s car and his house. Roger drove up behind the car, using the tree to partially hide his car. This was an upscale neighborhood with a homeowner’s association and neighborhood watch. But even absent that, there was always the busybody neighbor peeking through the window to see what was going on. Roger was worried about neither: his rapidly returning strength and cognition had those concerns covered.

You could rule the world!” Margarita said with a tone of awe in her voice. “Hardly,” Roger responded matter-of-factly. “I’m not trying to rule the world.” “Nor am I.” Margarita replied immediately.

It was a regular sunday morning around 6 a.m. when Mrs. Robinson was taking her daily run in the morning. She jogged around the perimeter of the neighborhood at a fair speed while she pondered her plans for the day. Would she go grocery shopping, would she go out with some friends, or would she just stay at home and continue to grade papers, as she was a school teacher. These thoughts were brought to an abrupt halt when she saw something very peculiar in the corner of her eye.

Siegel provides enlightening guidance in his chapter through using clearly explained analogies, metaphors, diagrams, emerging neuroscience research, and spiritual wisdom. In Part I of this novel, the author primarily focuses on the structure and bountiful abilities of the brain, such as neuroplasticity, “the term used to describe the capacity for creating new neural connections and growing new neurons in response to experience” (5). These new neural connections make way for change, by not only strengthening the areas that one may be weak in, but by also learning how to make better and more conscious choices when faced with turbulence.

The only sounds that were heard were his footsteps, but he knew he wasn’t alone. He never was these days. He had felt someone following him for a few days, but he never bothered to go find them. He had thought that, if they wanted to kill him, they already would have tried in the dozens of occasions they had in a day, like when he was changing or when he had to go hunting. In those moments, he never was 100% alert, instead focusing on the task at hand. However, he had still never let his guard down, because
