Rewire – Change Your Brain

…To Break Bad Habits, Overcome Addictions, Conquer Self-Destructive Behavior

Author: Richard O’Connor, PhD.

The bestselling author of Undoing Depression offers a brain-based guide to permanently ending bad habits

In Rewire,  O’Connor expands those ideas, showing how we actually have two brains — a conscious deliberate self and an automatic self that makes most of our decisions — and how we can train the latter to ignore distractions, withstand temptations, and interrupt reflexive, self-sabotaging responses.   Rewire  gives readers a road–map to overcoming the most common self-destructive habits, including procrastination, excessive worrying, internet addiction, overeating, risk-taking, and self-medication, among others.   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.
