Description
Rewire: Change Your Brain to Break Bad Habits, Overcome Addictions, Conquer Self-Destructive Behavior By training your brain to override self-sabotaging responses, you can break free from habits that hold you back. Richard O'Connor, author of the bestselling book Undoing Depression, offers a brain-based guide to permanently ending bad habits. O'Connor explains how our brains are composed of two distinct systems, one conscious and deliberate, and one automatic, which makes most of our decisions. By learning to train the latter, you can develop valuable skills and habits, such as mindfulness, self-control, and confronting fear, to open yourself to a more successful, productive, and happy life. This book provides a roadmap to overcoming common self-destructive habits, including procrastination, excessive worrying, internet addiction, overeating, risk-taking, and self-medication.
