The big idea is to realize, internalize beyond any doubt that the brain is evolved set of highly specialized structures, some very ancient, some more recent, which communicate to each other. The emotional and instinctive parts are more fundamental and more important than language-related parts, and what we call or reflect as thinking is mostly feeling and sensing, to which verbal augmentation is merely a, well... augmentation.) The message is that cortex is by no means is everything or even most essential. The ancient, animal, non-verbal parts of the brain are still doing most of the job. As a consequence the popular myth about human's pure rationality should be discarded. We are still animals. The crucial difference is obviously a language and hence abstract thinking (in that order - we think in language labels we attach to everything, including feeling and moods). But this is not the whole picture. So called Fast Thinking is working of the ancient, animal parts of the brain.
