    I’ve got some anecdotal evidence that it fully and completely cured my road rage. I’ve been 5 years without a gut wrenching anger when I get cut off or when someone without self awareness whips their car out in front of me.

    Also I don’t blame myself for my parents decade long divorce that made them both very very poor. Bonus.

      I can see that, it supposedly builds new synaptic connections. For myself somebody pointed out if your are walking and an old person is walking slow in front of you, or a person turns and bumps into you unaware, you don’t swear and yell and try to hit them, we move out of their way and apologize to each other—why should being in a car change decency. And that was enough to trigger a new thinking pattern for me.
