Goodreads synopsis:
Your default programming—the automatic choices all of us make in life without even noticing—can sabotage you, but you can learn to interrupt your self-defeating behavior and make better choices. Steven J. Fogel shares what scientists have discovered about your ability to “rewire” your brain to act in ways that will make you happier and offers sage advice about how to resolve long-term dysfunctional relationships that are causing you stress, frustration, and pain. Put the past where it belongs—in the past. Be mindful, live in the present, and lead a fulfilling life full of possibilities!
My thoughts: 4 Stars
This is one of those books that you need to read once and then go back and employ all the different exercises. I think that adding a journal with this book would be key. There are a ton of great insights here. It is like a guidebook to life and how to get more out of it. I came away understanding so much more than I thought I would.
My favorite part was about how we can be a frog in hot water. I know that really applied to me personally. I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in learning more about how our brains work for and against us. Definitely a powerhouse book. Check this one out.
I received this as an ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) from NetGalley in return for an honest review. I thank NetGalley, the publisher and the author for allowing me to read this title.
