He went on to say:
I think in most of our lives the root of suffering is listening to that brain noise and actually identifying with it as if it's who you are. That's just the noise your brain makes. And more often than not, it probably doesn't have much to say that's going to help you. I've felt my best are the moments that I've been able to pull that plug and say, 'Chris … shhh … shhh.' And it's not quitting, it's not giving up, it's not washing your hands of the thought, it's rising above it. All the time I've spent suffering as a result of brain noise, hours of my life wasted. So that's what I'd say: 'Shhh.'
