About this ebook

How to rewire your brain to improve virtually every aspect of your life-based on the latest research in neuroscience and psychology on neuroplasticity and evidence-based practices

Not long ago, it was thought that the brain you were born with was the brain you would die with, and that the brain cells you had at birth were the most you would ever possess. Your brain was thought to be “hardwired” to function in predetermined ways. It turns out that's not true. Your brain is not hardwired, it's "softwired" by experience. This book shows you how you can rewire parts of the brain to feel more positive about your life, remain calm during stressful times, and improve your social relationships. Written by a leader in the field of Brain-Based Therapy, it teaches you how to activate the parts of your brain that have been underactivated and calm down those areas that have been hyperactivated so that you feel positive about your life and remain calm during stressful times. You will also learn to improve your memory, boost your mood, have better relationships, and get a good night sleep.

Ratings and reviews

PS.There is no Armenian genocide. If ur a historian write a book about it. im more than happy to buy n read. If not, seek some advice from historians

Just what I needed. While reading book and since, have made marked changes to my live that have had a significant positive impact. Understanding how your brain and body works and how it affects your daily life enabled me to make changes that I'm now confident will be with me for good.

After a unconscious suicide attempt I was on a quest to improve my life. This book was recommended by a psychiatrist I was seeing before my overdose. Depression and anxiety can be overcome and easily if you do the work. This book will give you the tools you need to make a positive change in your life.
