After I wrote my first book on the gut, I started working in a hospital and soon realized that I can't only focus on this one organ exclusively.
I really need to understand how everything goes together, how different organs influence each other.
And while doing that, I also noticed that we have a pretty old-fashioned view on our body oftentimes.
And this wouldn't be so bad if it's just like a common thing and you just go with the flow, but it sometimes really is in the way of us healing, of us, you know, achieving things, of us feeling good in our body.
And I thought, how could you update this? Is there some different way to look at these things? So the lung is an organ that is kind of odd when you look at it through societal values, because in our Western societies, we usually think, oh, you have to be really eager, you know, put your elbow out, achieve something, put in more hours, be really tough for something.
Just like going along with what the muscles around it do, accommodating everyone, having some dents because of organs just taking up room there.
So you would think in the beginning, why on earth did our body put this like passive plumbly, plumbly organ there that when you just poke a little needle in your thorax, it goes... and shrinks together like an old soap foam or something.
And the answer is because being soft, being passive, being accommodating isn't necessarily always a weakness.
In a body, it is perfect at the place where it's at because without the lung being soft and accommodating, we couldn't take 20,000 breaths a day.
It takes us too much calories to breathe then because it's not so soft and accommodating anymore.
And when you look around in your life and society, we oftentimes devalue these softer parts.
where people arrange around others, really try to make everything happen, are smooth and harmonious sometimes.
But often these are also very fundamental, important parts of us all functioning, of everything really going well in families, in workplaces, and also in your own life and achieving things.
The part the lung plays in breathing is an undervalued part in achieving things in general or getting things that you want.
