  • In the Mistborn series, some people can heal themselves if they stored “health” in gold (usually in the form of jewelry) prior to getting injured. The way it works is you only heal back to whatever state your mental cognition agrees constitutes your body just prior to getting injured. So if you had lost an eye a decade ago and now wear an eyepatch, and accept that that not having a working eye is what makes you you, but then get stabbed in the gut and need to heal, you will only heal the stabbed gut, and not the eye.




  • I listen to audiobooks when driving as well and am PRETTY sure i have ADHD (haven’t gotten officially diagnosed yet). For me, it… “distracts” the part of my brain that wants to get frustrated at all the bad drivers/traffic slowdowns. Unless things get particularly hectic, like trying to make it to an exit in time in dense traffic, it usually works great, and if I find myself not taking in certain parts, I tap a button on my audiobook app that goes back 30 seconds so I can properly understand it.

    It’s a great combo, because like you, if I’m just sitting at home listening to an audiobook, I get “partially bored” and start looking at random stuff online. But when driving, well, that part of my brain is focused on driving, so I don’t get bored like that.
