About this title

Synopsis

Two of America's most eminent psychiatrists Jeffrey M. Schwartz and Rebecca Gladding present a simple four step program to re-wiring the brain. Through explaining how the brain works and why humans often feel besieged by overactive brain circuits such as bad habit and social anxieties, the program offers practical advice for controlling indecision and self doubt. By carefully outlining their program Schwartz and Gladding show readers how to identify negative impulses, channel them through the power of focused attention and lead a more fulfilling life.
