The ReWired Brain: Free Yourself of Negative Behaviors and Release Your Best Self

by Dr. Ski Chilton, Dr. Margaret Rukstalis, A. J. Gregory

Overview

Most of us don't realize we have a surprising amount of control over our own thoughts and behaviors. While unconscious feelings and reactions from our past can unintentionally influence our behaviors negatively, we also have a great capacity to call upon the parts of our brain responsible for intentional choices in order to end destructive cycles. The ReWired Brain shows readers how to reframe their negative experiences, overcome their fears, experience emotional and spiritual healing, and ultimately rewire their brains, empowering them to be free and to live fearlessly.
