In this monologue, Dr. Gil Joseph Shachar (M.D.) discusses fasting beyond its physical aspects, emphasizing the inevitable emotional discomfort—hunger, distress, irritability—that accompanies it. He asserts that he does not fear these feelings; instead, he views them as a valuable training ground for cultivating patience. By experiencing impatience while fasting, he practices being more tolerant with his children, spouse, and coworkers. He also briefly references the physiological process of autophagy that occurs during fasting, linking the bodily benefit to the mental exercise. Overall, he frames fasting as a purposeful mental challenge that strengthens emotional resilience.
