#1 Best Seller in Creativity Self-Help
Your mind is yours to redesign, redecorate and create! The idea that you are what you think has concerned philosophers from Marcus Aurelius to the Buddha. Today, this age-old message is delivered via cognitive behavioral therapy and CBT techniques. Dr. Maisel moves cognitive change a giant step forward by describing the room that is your mind and how human consciousness is experienced there. Packed with visualization exercises, this accessible guide makes redesigning your mind and changing what you think easy and simple, an upgrade to the CBT method.
Visualization exercises for easy assembly. That room that is your mind is a space that you can decorate, air out, furnish, and turn into a truly congenial place. By practicing these easy-to-understand visualization exercises, you can redesign your mind and change not only what you think but how you think. Each of these techniques addresses major challenges like depression, anxiety, addiction, procrastination, and loneliness and promote cognitive growth, trauma healing, and fundamental change.
Inside, you’ll also find information that could help you:
- Increase your creativity
- Reduce your anxiety
- Rid yourself of chronic depression
- Recover from addiction
- Heal from past trauma
- Achieve emotional wellbeing
- Live your life purposes

What People are Saying About This
“Eric Maisel is at the cutting edge in the field of creativity and health. I’ve used the practices and exercises described in Redesign Your Mind myself and they really work! Plus, they are fun to read and easy to use. I highly recommend this must-read book.”
—Jed Diamond, PhD, author of The Enlightened Marriage
“Once again, Eric Maisel has translated complex ideas into everyday language. Using the visual metaphor of ‘the room that is your mind,’ he presents practical applications that can restore well-being in times of emotional and existential angst. Perfect for creatives and for everyone whose mind could use an upgrade.”
—Chuck Ruby, PhD, executive director of the International Society for Ethical Psychology and Psychiatry
“Within the room that is our mind, many people spread anger, guilt, worry, and resentment. Dr. Eric Maisel teaches us how the mind has the ability to enter into self-conversation and dynamic self-regulation to change all that. The results are profound and bring expanded awareness, insight, inspiration, creativity, and focused concentration.”
—Lee Jampolsky, PhD, bestselling author of Healing the Addictive Personality
“With humor and compassion, Maisel describes more than fifty exercises for trading in one’s self-pestering thoughts for healthy indwelling. The book’s engaging and practical tools teach readers to be gentle with themselves and achieve new heights of understanding and creativity. This book is not just inspirational; it brings profound relief.”
—Judith Schlesinger, PhD, author of The Insanity Hoax: Exposing the Myth of the Mad Genius
