Summary:
We humans tend to get in our own way time and time again, whether it comes to not speaking up for ourselves, going back to
bad
romantic partners, dieting for the umpteenth try, or acting on any of a range of
bad
habits
we just can't seem to shake. Discover exactly why our
bad
habits
die so hard. We have two brains-one a thoughtful, conscious, deliberative self, and the other an automatic self that makes most of our decisions without our attention. This book clears a path to lasting, to overcoming whatever
self-destructive
habits
are plaguing you, with exercises throughout the book. We can
rewire
our brains to develop healthier circuitry, training the automatic self to make wiser decisions without having to think about it; ignore distractions; withstand temptations; see ourselves and the world more clearly; and interrupt our reflexive responses before they get us in trouble. Meanwhile, our conscious minds will be freed to view ourselves with compassion at the same time as we practice self-discipline. By learning valuable skills and habits-including mindfulness, self-control, confronting fear, and freeing yourself from mindless guilt-we can open ourselves to vastly more successful, productive, and happy lives. The book even demystifies how to
overcome
what Dr. O'Connor calls the "undertow" (the mysterious force that sabotages our best efforts when we're just on the edge of victory) for long-lasting
change
. Offering a valuable science-based new paradigm for rewiring our brains,
Rewire
is a refreshing guide to becoming a healthier, happier self.
