Why We Think The Way We Do And How To Change It

by Thomas Garvey, Helen Kogan

Overview

Do you know what you're thinking? It's easy to assume you do. However, the truth can be far less comforting. The mind has visible functions and less visible functions. The mind's visible functions are its visible thinking. This helps us navigate through life; to recognise bus numbers, consider dishes on a menu and notice our friend's mood, etc. The unseen workings of the mind are everything else; this is our invisible thinking... all our thoughts, feelings, experiences, memories, everything! This amounts to all our conditioning and life experiences and it is constantly making decisions which affect the course our lives. Our visible mind then actuates these unseen, already-made decisions using points of reference we don't see, likely don't know exist, and therefore have no opportunity to understand, let alone change. Why We Think The Way We Do And How To Change It reveals the thoughts that are directing the course of your life, and helps you change the ones which have been taking you to places you don't want to go. Now are you ready to find out what you're really thinking? Thomas Garvey and Dr Helen Kogan untangle the roots of human thinking in a uniquely straight-talking, no holds barred approach. They provide the reader with user-friendly terms, tools, exercises and multiple real life examples, which taken altogether, could entirely change your life.

About the Author

Thomas Garvey's relationship with The Science of Acting began in 1987 when he was taught by Sam Kogan at the London drama school that Thomas was then attending. The integrity, inspiration and dedication Sam demonstrated towards his work never left him, and upon hearing Sam had opened his own school (the then School of The Science of Acting) Thomas put his career on hold to study with him for four years. This was a period where The Science of Acting was rapidly evolving, with the subjects developing class by class. During Thomas' thirty-year theatre career he has been an actor, director, producer and teacher. He has been teaching The Science of Acting for over fifteen years which includes being a Senior Acting Tutor at The Kogan Academy of Dramatic Art and its Head of Directing for five years. Thomas now runs his own Personal Development Company.
Dr Helen Kogan has had a lifelong interest in exploring the nature of consciousness. Initially pursuing the path of scientific investigation, Helen followed her first degree in Neuroscience with a Doctorate in Neuropharmacology. After her father's death in 2004, Helen temporarily took the role of Principal at The Kogan Academy of Dramatic Arts and remained Chair of the board for a subsequent decade, during which time she compiled and edited The Science of Acting (Routeledge, 2009). Ever since, Helen has been travelling the world. Having (at the time of writing) visited close to ninety countries, she explores how different traditions, cultures and schools answer the perennial questions of life and humanity's role within it. Simultaneously, this has provided her with the experiential opportunity to probe far-reaching facets and potentials of human experience. This auto-ethnographic approach has, and continues to take Helen's research pursuits to new levels. She has a particular interest in the role and potential of medicinal plants in the evolution of consciousness.Helen offers one-to-one consultations incorporating energetic techniques of transformation. She also facilitates international tours, guiding and supporting individuals and groups during their journeys of self-exploration and evolution. For more information go to www.drhelenkogan.com
