training to sustain a healthy brain
As a business analyst, Jon Thorne used what psychologists rely on to rigorously diagnose mental illnesses to define what a healthy brain does.
recognizing the individual parts it is familiar with and understanding the connections between those parts to form a cohesive perception of the whole.
A healthy brain sustains the cohesive whole. It does this by interpreting the world through two distinct perspectives:
We move parts to reshape the whole, creating new opportunities as current ones fade. In this way, the whole transcends algorithms. It continually generates something greater than the sum of its parts. It embodies the principles of Gestalt—what is beautiful, true, and good—the essence of the full human experience.

# What Prevents Us from Sustaining a Healthy Brain
Although every part is essential—since a whole cannot exist without them—focusing on individual parts diminishes the brain's capacity to understand the whole. Lacking this holistic perspective leads us to piece together familiar parts in an algorithmic fashion, much like artificial intelligence. We should not overlook the importance of the whole; therefore, it is essential to restore brain health lost by focusing solely on individual parts. Engaging in activities that enhance the perception of the whole is vital for this restoration.

I hope you are well.
I am a business analyst, not a psychologist or therapist. Throughout my entire career, I dedicated myself to analyzing human connections. Initially, I focused on identifying which aspects of these connections could be effectively facilitated online. Then, I shifted my attention to understanding the autistic perspective, and from there, I used what psychologists rely on to rigorously diagnose mental illnesses to define what a healthy brain does.
