Synopsis

This book will give you the tools to take the reins and steer your brain towards your goals. Informed by neuroscience and psychology, Braintenance aims to explain the inner workings of your brain to enable you to get your master controller onside when striving for new milestones.

Our brains are prediction machines, constantly interpreting our environment to make sense of the world around us, but sometimes they make false assumptions. Braintenance will help you understand how this happens and explains the clear, practical steps we can take to correct it. From developing positive habits and losing bad ones, to setting and achieving your goals, the book will enable you to transform your life for the better.

The more you understand about your thinking, the more control you can have over your life. Change is good, your brain just needs some convincing.
