<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>We all want a happy and healthy life but stress locks down our mindset and makes us fat, unhealthy, and unhappy. Dr Bartlett is a neuroscientist that has written a book for the average person. There are six easy to follow principles with exercises and tips to help you train the brain to reduce stress, have a healthy body and happy life.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>You can beat the genetic lottery.</p><p>No matter who you are, where you were born, or how you grew up, you have one thing in common with everyone else: You started life with a ticket in the genetic lottery. Some people definitely hold winning tickets: born into the arms of two loving, stable parents, in a safe country, with no worries about food or shelter or access to a good education.</p><p>Many others, of course, start life in a far less promising way -- carrying the genes of unstable, unhealthy, or unloving parents, born into a world of poverty, prejudice, lack of opportunity. For many, this random beginning becomes the middle and end of their life story as well. And yes, our genes, our environment, and our experiences do shape who we are -- but they don't have to define who we become.</p><p>Picture rolling a rock down a hill. It will keep going until something stops it, right? That's your <strong>mindset: your habitual, unconscious ways of living and thinking</strong>. Like that rock, your mindset keeps you eating too much, or believing you're unworthy of love, or dwelling on past pain, until something causes it to change. Or rather, until something causes you to change your mindset.</p><p>You might believe that you can alter the effects of your environment but are stuck with your genes, and in one sense, you're right. </p><p>You'll always have those brown eyes or that curly hair. But just as you can use colored contacts or straighten your hair, you can overcome your family's predilection for, say, addictive behavior or gaining weight. You can replace the things that are holding you back with things that will move you forward. </p><p>How? <strong>You have the power to change your mindset</strong>: to let go of past ways of being and thinking and to shape your future. Think of people who were born into deprivation and yet succeeded in creating rich, healthy lives for themselves and their children. Think of people who overcame bad habits and lost weight or cut back on their drinking or got out there and got a better job. People we admire as resilient or strong simply have a drive or a mindset to succeed. You can develop one, too.</p><p>We can't change our ticket in the genetic lottery, but we can control what we do about it. It takes daily work and practice, but it gets easier. Consider this book a roadmap--a user's manual for taking charge of your life. Learn how your brain works; how to recognize the patterns that keep it locked up, repeating the past; and how to apply simple strategies to change it. </p><p><strong>It's never too late to change your future by smashing your mindset. </strong></p><p>Stress has a way of leaving its imprint on our brains and bodies. We know that, in a learned, habitual, unthinking reaction to stress, it is the emotional part of the brain--what I've called MiGGi--that's encouraging us to eat all those cookies or the rest of the bag of chips, or drink or smoke or do whatever we've found makes us feel better, at least in the short term. MiGGi locks us into unhelpful memories and feelings, too, such as the pain of betrayal or divorce. The brain is a wonderful thing, though. By applying the principles of neuroplasticity, <strong>we can change the way our brains work</strong>. </p><p>Remember, if this were easy, everyone would be fit, trim, happy, and loving, and the world would be a peaceful place. We can start by drawing a line in the sand, crossing over it, and not looking back. This is why it is so important to understand how your brain works to get a smashing mindset. </p><p> </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>This book is an amazing read, particularly the chapter about will power. In five well written chapters Dr Selena Bartlett suggests ways how to shed unhealthy habits and how to train our consciousness for lasting improvement of our physical and mental state. It is key to live truly happier, better lives. <strong>Iris Assing, Kenilworth, U.K.</strong></p><p>With Selena's help I retrained my brain to over-ride my amygdala which occasionally threatened to ignite my fight and flight response bringing panic before a presentation. I regularly thank and acknowledge Selena in my coaching programs, sharing stories about the brain's plasticity, power poses and positive affirmations and how understanding these concepts can make you be a better presenter and communicator. Selena explained why and how my home-spun tips and techniques worked by sharing her knowledge of the brain and how it functions. <strong>Helen Besly, Managing Director, Rowland, Brisbane, Australia.</strong></p><p>Dr. Bartlett gave me the confidence I needed to make significant changes in my life. Her dedicated efforts as a neuroscientist and firm understanding of how the brain works provided me the link that I had always been searching for -- explaining the "Whys" of so many common diet tips. Armed with a new clear grasp of what I needed to do and how, and with her positive, helpful scientific approach I have been able to move forward with confidence and success. I recommend to anyone wanting change in their life to allow them selves to be guided by the research, teachings and science-based approach Dr. Bartlett provides. <strong>Ira Kargel, CEO and President, Gears Bike Shop, Toronto, Canada.</strong></p><p>I am a cancer survivor and take tamoxifen as post treatment to secure the odds that the cancer won't come back. I was surprised to discover that the exercises in <em>MiGGi Matters (1st Ed) </em>helped me coach my brain to manage stress which helped me sleep better. Who would have ever thought that you could train the MiGGi monster to help with insomnia! I truly feel that brain training could help anyone. I highly recommend reading <em>MiGGi Matters </em>and doing the easy exercises. <strong>Robin, mother, professional dancer, entrepreneur, Berkeley, California. </strong></p><p>Selena Bartlett has a wealth of knowledge about resilience and the inner workings of the brain. Her years of experience as a neuroscientist allow her to leverage this knowledge for the layperson. My experience of her presentation that I attended two years ago was to walk away with my eyes open and questions percolating. The information I gleaned has allowed me to continue to look at my life and that of my family's through a different lens. <strong>Christine Mattson, Senior Partner, Hilburn, Berkeley, California</strong></p><p>I just wanted to take the time to thank you for being an inspiration in my adapting new Life Style Behaviours after reading your book. Your passion and role modelling together with scientific research helped me on my journey to a happy & healthier life. I have used many of your strategies and words of wisdom to assist me with previous unhealthy lifestyle choices. I saw my doctor the other day and the 22 kg weight loss I have had over the last 18 months has seen my pathology return to within normal ranges and most importantly a decrease in my BGL. I am still on this new path but know I will succeed to achieve my goals and make this new lifestyle just that my normal lifestyle and not a series of fad diets that don't work. <strong>Joanne Cupples, Lecturer, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia.</strong></p><p> </p><br>
