To get real about the implications of this piece - the 'choice' is rarely in our awareness. We are rarely 'at choice' in any pure sense. For example the stats about repeated thoughts. Sounds really boring - repeating the same thoughts almost all the time. But in fact we do. More so our behaviors. Especially those that are reactive, when something 'triggers' us. That is arguably the hardest context in which to know we have some kind of choice.

So almost all the time, we are not aware of having any choice. The actual work here is increasing our awareness of having a choice. How to do that is what will make differences. The data and quotes are interesting, and, practical advice on increasing awareness of having choices is essential.

Another framing: "How we do what we do is who we are becoming." - Humberto Maturana
