Abstract
Too many people throughout the world are unhealthy, stressed, and disconnected from the community because they spend too much time being angry or in fear, and too much time having self-centered thoughts and judging others. People are not being their true selves. The Eplerian Philosophy based on brain science is defined as “know who you are moment by moment . ” This means know the brain region at any given moment and learn to quickly leave the unhealthy brain regions. The less time people think about themselves, the more they become their true selves.
