Here we are discussing the book "The Hour Between Dog and Wolf: How Risk Taking Transforms Us, Body and Mind" by Dr. John Coates.

Ground Rules:
- The book is about psychology and this thread will be thought-provoking.
- Be nice.
- Ask questions but do not be offended if you are asked to read and reread the book.
- Opinions are welcome especially grounded, i.e., feel free to say what you think and why you think so.
- If and when you disagree say why and better yet offer other options. Be open to a constructive dialogue. We are here to learn.
- Be open to hearing opinions of others. Do not attack a person but work with where they are coming from and their reasons.
- Contribute to the conversation. You may not like what the author says but agree to disagree.
- I reserve the right to dislike and ignore users that behave like trolls and hinder the conversation. You have been warned.
- Did I say "Be nice"?
