I appreciate your answers. However, this is nothing new. What Athene is describing as world changing, has been around since ancient Greek philosophies, specifically that of Stoicism.

It describes; taking control of your emotions, self reflection, viewing yourself from an outside perspective, overcoming irrational fears, accepting things that are outside of your control and living in the now. Basically the exact same points made by Athene.

The only thing that is different with Athene's approach, is that he grounds ancient philosophies with Neuroscience. As if to say "Hey look, there is science to prove this works". Well yeh sure, we can now explain these phenomena with scientific data and quantify the "state of mind" but again, this is nothing new.

I guess Athene is trying to make this way of thinking more accessible to the common person by modernising it and making it all relevant and cool again. There is nothing wrong with that and it would be nice if more people were rational thinkers. However, I feel that Athene needs to explain how it's all connected.

As it stands, the explanation is along the lines of; "Believe in Logic", "Logic is maths and maths is the universal language of everything", "Don't question it, just believe it" It stops sounding like a rational and logical explanation and more a person who is recruiting for a cult. Which is evident in some of the testimonies that I've read, who seem to accept it as gospel without really understanding what they believe in.
