What does overthinking have to do with it when your head hits the pillow and you’re so exhausted from the day because you had a great, but hard working day? What happens in those quiet hours before you go to sleep, when it’s time to turn it off but your brain says, “nope…I’ve got your attention now, it’s time to be thinking about things”
Aloha and welcome,
Ever lie awake at night with thoughts racing through your mind? It’s not uncommon, especially after a long, challenging day. But what if overthinking isn’t the villain we’ve often branded it to be?

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
