Publisher's summary

According to researchers, the vast majority - a whopping 75-98 percent - of the illnesses that plague us today are a direct result of our thought life. What we think about truly affects us both physically and emotionally. In fact, fear alone triggers more than 1,400 known physical and chemical responses in our bodies, activating more than 30 different hormones! Today our culture is undergoing an epidemic of toxic thoughts that, left unchecked, create ideal conditions for illnesses.

Supported by current scientific and medical research, Dr. Caroline Leaf gives listeners a prescription for better health and wholeness through correct thinking patterns, declaring that we are not victims of our biology. She shares with listeners the "switch" in our brains that enables us to live happier, healthier, more enjoyable lives where we achieve our goals, maintain our weight, and even become more intelligent. She shows us how to choose life, get our minds under control, and reap the benefits of a detoxed thought life.

it was very helpful

I'm often stuck in my thinking but listening to this audio really help me to understand a few things and a desire to want to do the 21 day detox. it was awesome.

Enlightening and Biblical

really helpful strategy to try to tame the dragon thoughts and reframe into lambs... so excited for this key!

Switch on your Brain has opened my eyes

Well thought out an articulated guide to helping the audience become self-aware of thought process, and the healing benefits of thought control. I plan on listening to it again.

So good

Relating science to scripture is my favorite- knowing I am in control of my wiring of my brain is so empowering!

Good advice, Biblically backed

I really appreciated the Bible references and how the power of our thinking is repeated over and over in the Bible. I had not put it together as clearly as this book presents it.

In essence we are what we think, and as we think the same thoughts/feelings/patterns, they reinforce those neural connections, making them the default pathways for our thoughts. Therefore, ‘…whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.’ Philippeans 4:8. Practice ‘right thinking’ and change your default neural pathways. Become the positive, powerful person you were meant to be.

Powerful

Inside full and stirring To the unlimited power that we possess.. Magnificent way in which she explained The functions of the brain and the power behind the brain with the word of the lord Excellent!

A must read for everyone!!

Everyone has a thought that needs change, a mindset that needs improvement, or a belief that can improve. This is the power to change your life.

Great way to use your mind and brain

Very informative. Dr Leaf shares the neuroscience of the mind and brain and shares how the Bible has been telling us this for millennia. As an engineer the science and faith com i nation spoke to both my right and left side of my brain. And it was simple enough to follow. Looking forward to the 21 day brain detox

why is a heading required if it's "optional?"

Sounded like a computer reading text. Horrible. Monotone. The book has merit, but the audio diminishes it.

Amazing!

I liked that the book explains things from a science-based perspective so even if you're not a "religious" person the content still makes sense based on years of practical application and research. This book was recommended to me by my therapist, and I love it so much I'm going to get the hard copy just so I can take it all in visually.
