The ReWired Brain: Free Yourself of Negative Behaviors and Release Your Best Self

by Dr. Ski Chilton, Dr. Margaret Rukstalis, A. J. Gregory

Overview

Trade Negative Thinking for Confident, Fearless Living

Most of us don't realize that we have a surprising amount of control over our own thoughts and behaviors and can unintentionally influence our brains negatively, causing cycles of bad choices and experiences.

The ReWired Brain offers a clear framework for understanding our brains and the decisions we make, showing how certain fears and instincts drive unhealthy emotional dysfunctions and related behavioral patterns in the most important areas of life. This book shows how to reframe negative experiences, experience emotional and spiritual healing, and ultimately rewire our brains, empowering to live fearlessly.
