<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A leading neuroplasticity researcher and the coauthor of the groundbreaking books "Brain Lock" and "The Mind and the Brain" has refined a program that successfully explains how the brain works and why we often feel besieged by overactive brain circuits.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Two neuroscience experts explain how their 4-Step Method can help identify negative thoughts and change bad habits for good. <p/></b><p>A leading neuroplasticity researcher and the coauthor of the groundbreaking books <i>Brain Lock </i>and <i>The Mind and the Brain</i>, Jeffrey M. Schwartz has spent his career studying the human brain. He pioneered the first mindfulness-based treatment program for people suffering from OCD, teaching patients how to achieve long-term relief from their compulsions.</p>Schwartz works with psychiatrist Rebecca Gladding to refine a program that successfully explains how the brain works and why we often feel besieged by overactive brain circuits (i.e. bad habits, social anxieties, etc.) the key to making life changes that you want--to make your brain work for you--is to consciously choose to "starve" these circuits of focused attention, thereby decreasing their influence and strength.<p></p><i>You Are Not Your Brain</i> carefully outlines their program, showing readers how to identify negative impulses, channel them through the power of focused attention, and ultimately lead more fulfilling and empowered lives.<p></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A testament to mind over brain ... It's the truth of the matter that sheer willpower can truly make you break free."<br>--Leonardo DiCaprio <p/>"Operating on the highly rational perspective that we are not our brains, but rather, substantial free agents who exercise control over our brains, Schwartz and Gladding develop a simple, yet profoundly insightful approach for developing a flourishing life. The result is truly life-giving, and it will bring healing and hope to all who read it and practice its wisdom."<br>--J.P. Moreland, author of <i>The God Question</i> <p/>"How can the brain, which is just a complex network of interconnected nerve cells, give rise to consciousness and to thought? Dr. Jeffrey Schwartz and Dr. Rebecca Gladding argue, persuasively, that the mind actually has massive causal effects on the functioning of the brain. In other words, you can not only change the way you think, feel and behave through conscious effort when you're upset, but you can also change the programming and chemistry of your brain. A compelling and important message."<br>--David Burns, M.D., author of <i>Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy</i> <p/>"The idea that we can deliberately and systematically change our brains with our minds was once thought ridiculous. But now, largely due to Jeffrey Schwartz and his UCLA research on neuro-plasticity and OCD, this once revolutionary idea is well accepted. Rebecca Gladding and Jeffrey Schwartz adapt Schwartz's extraordinarily successful program for a mainstream audience giving simple, self-directed tools to help achieve greater happiness, emotional balance, and overall well-being."<br>--Susan Kaiser Greenland, author of <i>The Mindful Child</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Jeffrey M.
