You are not your brain : the 4-step solution for changing bad habits, ending unhealthy thinking, and taking control of your life

You are not your brain The 4-step solution for changing bad habits, ending unhealthy thinking, and taking control of your life

Jeffrey Schwartz, 1951-

Book - 2011

A leading neuroplasticity researcher and the coauthor of the groundbreaking books Brain Lock and The Mind and the Brain, Jeffrey M. Schwartz has spent his career studying the structure and neuronal firing patterns of the human brain. He pioneered the first mindfulness-based treatment program for people suffering from OCD, teaching patients how to achieve long-term relief from their compulsions. For the past six years, Schwartz has worked with psychiatrist Rebecca Gladding to refine a program that successfully explains how the brain works and why we often feel besieged by bad brain wiring.
