Talking about for a while now

Again, it's easy to understand. We all know that sometimes we have desires that contradict each other, wishes that contradict each other. This is something that you have most certainly already felt.
More than 2000 years ago, the Stoic philosophers, whom I talk about very often, had also recognized this phenomenon and they said that in fact this phenomenon had its origin in conflicting desires and judgments. A conflict is a bit like a war. It is not a synonym, but the meaning is very close. There are two parties who do not agree, who do not want the same things, who do not have the same desires, who do not judge the same things, who have different judgments.
I recently read a book, which I presented in a personal development video from "Marcher avec Johan", well it's not a video from "Marcher avec Johan" precisely since "Marcher avec Johan" is a podcast, but it's a video that you can find on the Français Authentique YouTube channel . I don't really remember what the title of this video is, but in any case I presented this book. I think the title of the video is "Je t'emmène en balade", if you want to look it up on YouTube. And I presented one of my readings. This reading is a book called The Chimp Paradox .
It's a book in English, I read a lot in greece whatsapp number data English, which means The Chimpanzee Paradox. The author is Steve Peters. I think he's English. I really recommend this book because in fact, it talks about what I just said, it tells you a little bit about what I just explained to you, but he offers it through a very clear system: images, diagrams, metaphors. And he does that with great talent. That's why I really recommend this book.
The book is a little over 300 pages long, so I'm not going to give you all the details, but I'm going to take up one of the theses of the book which gave the title to the book and which takes up a little of this internal war that we've been
In fact, one of the theses of the book is to say... that's why he talks about the chimpanzee paradox. A paradox is when something happens and it doesn't seem logical, it's weird. We say to ourselves: "Wait..." It's something that's not 100%, let's say that doesn't necessarily seem natural to us at first glance.
In fact, in this book, he explains that there is an internal war, which we talked about before, between two parts of our brain. For him, our brain is made up of different parts. So that's scientific, right? It doesn't come from him. And there is one that he compares to a human and the other that he compares to a chimpanzee. He says that we have a part of the brain that is a human, which is even the human part in us, which is us, and we have another part that we are less conscious of but which is just as important, which is the chimpanzee.
