your brain on porn gary wilson's legacy and best lesson i'm dr trish lee in this video we are
going to think about three things gary wilson the famous author of the premiere book on the
dangers of pornography on brains has passed away and i'd like us to pay tribute to him but also
explore the impact that he's had on the world and how we can have a huge takeaway from that lesson
so first what we're going to do is think about gary wilson's impact secondly we are going to
look at how he did it and then third your brain tip for the day and your motivation
so that you can go out and do exactly the same thing okay so number one how did gary wilson
impact the world and especially when it comes to pornography well i know that when i was inspired
and i'll use that in air quotes because when people are inspired to learn about the dangers of
pornography it's usually because it is impacting them in some way and it's creating some challenges
or some struggles in your own existence or in the existence of someone that you love or care about
so i know for me when i went to begin to learn more about the dangers of pornography because my
mind was blown as to how complex and involved this whole thing is gary wilson's book was the first
one that i read and i'm sure it was the first one that many of you read and if you haven't read it
i encourage you to do so and in that book he talks about how dangerous pornography is but at the same
time he gives you hope on being able to leave it behind and to be able to move on to a better life
and number two how did he do that you know what he did he set the intention when he was inspired
and motivated to learn more about pornography and how dangerous it is but now here's a cool thing
in 2010 he made content for other people and he created a website your brain on porn where he has
put together so much information the science behind pornography and its impact on brains
and lives but also anecdotal experience for many people as they are traversing this journey so that
website is there for you still his legacy and his impact lives on through that website and through
his book but he had to go through many challenges to be able to get that book into the world
across his lifetime there was controversy he had lawsuits he went against people who were trying to
retort different things that he was saying people who were trying to spin pornography as healthy
so my point about that is his life and his legacy wasn't without its challenges
and of course that is going to parallel the journey that you will have to make if
you're going to leave pornography behind it can be tricky at first it can be difficult at first but i
know that his website will be an amazing resource for you and hopefully following in
his footsteps i can be a resource for you too but he blazed the trail because he set the intention
he became motivated and inspired to learn and then to share he was then able to develop
the resilience and be able to have grit and perseverance to be able to stay the course when
things got tricky for him i encourage you to do the same so what's the takeaway what can we really
learn from gary wilson and what he brought to the world the takeaway number three is that when you
set the intention to leave pornography behind and you get the proper tools which is what i'm trying
to do here and definitely what gary wilson was trying to do for you also when you get the proper
tools you learn the proper strategies and you have the proper support you can succeed you can
blossom into the person that you want to be and that you deserve to be and that is his greatest
lesson ever in the beginning of his book uh in the introduction and i'm going to pull it up because
i want to read the quote that he put there it says i count him braver who overcomes his desires
than him who conquers his enemies for the hardest victory is over self and that's a
quote by aristotle from the beginning of your brain on porn so today i hope you're inspired
to stay the course do what you need to do to get this project of yours going just
like gary wilson did back in the day so that you can become a better version of yourself
and you can contribute to the world you can leave your impact your legacy
you can give lessons to others that's what it's all about okay so go rock it out and have an
