Very right, unfortunately. Quick dopamine to feel okay ... then next, then next. Not at rest enough to concentrate on a few targeted things, not even on possible solutions to their hardship situation. It requires clarity of mind and a certain ease of being to just sit and read.

In my experience, in our state of information overflow and daily fiat life struggle, at first exercises (meditation, breathwork, yoga) and/or spending extended periods of time in nature having nothing planned to do, will bring about that state of clarity and ease.

Once experienced and rekindled, it will be easier, yes even necessary, to come back to that state. Then the mind is open enough to listen, to receive the new, to focus.
