At this point, the mission should be clear—we need to figure out a way to override the wiring of our brain and tame the mammoth. That’s the only way to take our lives back.
那么我们的使命清晰了：找到摆脱大脑舒服，驯服猛犸的方法。这是找回我们自己的唯一途径。

Part 2: Taming the Mammoth
2：驯服猛犸

Some people are born with a reasonably tame mammoth or raised with parenting that helps keep the mammoth in check. Others die without ever reining their mammoth in at all, spending their whole lives at its whim. Most of us are somewhere in the middle—we’ve got control of our mammoth in certain areas of our lives while it wreaks havoc in others. Being run by your mammoth doesn’t make you a bad or weak person—it just means you haven’t yet figured out how to get a grip on it. You might not even be aware that you have a mammoth at all or of the extent to which your Authentic Voice has been silenced.
有些人生来免疫猛犸或者父母帮忙控制住猛犸，其他人临死都不能管住猛犸，在猛犸的兴致中过完一生。我们大部分人在中间，我们把猛犸控制在生活的中心，它严重影响了其他人。被猛犸控制不意味着你会变坏或者软弱，只是不知道怎么管束住它，甚至不知道猛犸的存在，为什么内心会沉默无声。
