The mind and the brain are different things. Everyone has a mind and a brain. The problem is that the brain has a mind of its own. So, in effect everyone has two minds. That's the reason we eat junk food even when our mind knows it's bad for us. The brain's mind does what it wants. It can stress about things that we don't want to stress about. It can give you stage fright even when you don't want it. And it can refuse to memorize things that you want to memorize.
