“A testament to mind over brain ... It's the truth of the matter
that sheer willpower can truly make you break free.”
—Leonardo DiCaprio
“Operating on the highly rational perspective that we are not our
brains, but rather, substantial free agents who exercise control
over our brains, Schwartz and Gladding develop a simple, yet
profoundly insightful approach for developing a flourishing
life. The result is truly life-giving, and it will bring
healing and hope to all who read it and practice its wisdom.”
—J.P. Moreland, author of The God Question
"How can the brain, which is just a complex network of
interconnected nerve cells, give rise to consciousness and to
thought? Dr. Jeffrey Schwartz and Dr. Rebecca Gladding argue,
persuasively, that the mind actually has massive causal effects on
the functioning of the brain. In other words, you can not only
change the way you think, feel and behave through conscious effort
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
“The idea that we can deliberately and systematically change our
brains with our minds was once thought ridiculous. But
now, largely due to Jeffrey Schwartz and his UCLA research on
neuro-plasticity and OCD, this once revolutionary idea is well
accepted. Rebecca Gladding and Jeffrey Schwartz adapt
Schwartz’s extraordinarily successful program for a mainstream
audience giving simple, self-directed tools to help achieve greater
happiness, emotional balance, and overall well-being.”
—Susan Kaiser Greenland, author of The Mindful Child
