That title is a bit misleading (but it sure is catchy isn’t it?). You can’t actually “control” your thoughts – at least not in the same way that you can control other things, like a blender or a remote control car or a group of dancing robots.

We wrapped up the Finding Your Flavor series with my favorite flavor: the INTELLECTUAL.
