In You Are Not Your Brain, Jeffrey Schwartz and Rebecca Gladding have refined a program that successfully explains how the brain works and why we sometimes feel as though we've lost control of our own thoughts and feelings. This uncomfortable sensation, whether it rears its head as anxiety, self-deprecating thoughts, panic attacks, or compulsive overindulgence, is actually false. Those negative reactions are not representative of you and no longer need to control your life. You Are Not Your Brain not only breaks down why we're plagued by habits that aren't in line with our ultimate goals but also provides the guidance and support for change through their Four Step method. While scientifically founded in cutting-edge brain research, this easy-to-follow program will teach you how to find your loving, smart inner guide and lead a more fulfilling and empowered life. 'A testament to mind over brain . . . It's the truth of the matter that sheer willpower can truly make you break free.' Leonardo DiCaprio 'Drs. Schwartz and Gladding argue, persuasively, that the mind actually has massive causal effects on the functioning of the brain. In other words, you can, through conscious effort, not only change the way you think, feel, and behave when you're upset, but you can also change the programming and chemistry of your brain. A compelling and important message.' David Burns, M.D., author of Feeling Good- The New Mood Therapy
