Story
How can I rewire my brain from anxiety? How can I rewire my brain to be positive? Scientists once thought that the brain was locked in place after puberty. But new technology shows that our brain continues to rewire itself and never stops changing as we age. We're gradually understanding that the adult brain is capable of physical change and rewiring in response to stimuli. But if you conceive of the brain as a colossally complex series of wires and computer connections, we're still basically babies with a Fisher-Paykel chisel, banging at the circuit board.

Story
Our thought lives have incredible power over our mental, emotional, and even physical well-being. In fact, our thoughts can either limit us to what we believe we can do or release us to experience abilities well beyond our expectations. When we choose a mindset that extends our abilities rather than placing limits on ourselves, we will experience greater intellectual satisfaction, emotional control, and physical health. The only question is... how?

Is it possible to heal by thought alone - without drugs or surgery? The truth is that it happens more often than you might expect. In You Are the Placebo, Dr. Joe Dispenza shares numerous documented cases of those who reversed cancer, heart disease, depression, crippling arthritis, and even the tremors of Parkinson’s disease by believing in a placebo. Similarly, Dr. Joe tells of how others have gotten sick and even died the victims of a hex or voodoo curse - or after being misdiagnosed with a fatal illness.

Joe Dispenza, DC, has spent decades studying the human mind-how it works, how it stores information, and why it perpetuates the same behavioral patterns over and over. In the acclaimed film What the Bleep Do We Know!?, he began to explain how the brain evolves - by learning new skills, developing the ability to concentrate in the midst of chaos, and even healing the body and the psyche. Evolve Your Brain presents this information in depth, while helping you take control of your mind.

Publisher's summary
The journey to wellness when coming back from a brain injury can be a long one. It is one that author Ruth Curran knows well. Faced with a myriad of challenges after her own brain injury, she decided to turn up the volume on the things that she loved and found ways to work through the discomfort and discouragement that can plague so many who are faced with this devastating diagnosis.
Her own path - one that took 18 months - is one that she shares with listeners in Being Brain Healthy. Being Brain Healthy is a book of hope. Curran shares insights on healing from a brain injury and has the unique ability to explain complex neuroscience in a way that makes sense to those who are just taking their first steps on the road to recovery.
Convinced that everyone can work their way out of what Curran refers to as "the fog" and can build better thinking skills, the author shares how she turned her entire life into a better experience. The goal of Being Brain Healthy is to combine the most cutting-edge research with what those with brain injuries know intuitively. Curran helps listeners to understand how the brain and body work together and how that can be used to an advantage.
With the book divided into sections, including "Be Active", "Be Engaged", "Be Social", "Be Purposeful", and "Be Complicated", listeners will be able to see how the newest science, activities, and exercises can help those who are suffering with brain injuries to make the most of every day. Included in the book are stories from those currently in recovery from brain injuries whose experiences are meant to inspire listeners to take their own functionality to the next level.

Story
It's pernicious...it's diabolical...it creeps into every moment of our lives. It influences our relationships, impacts our physical body, works its way into our conversations, sparks non-nourishing behaviors, and forces us to do things we'd never want to do. It's infectious; it's relentless.... It's stress! We all know it. We all experience it. It's the human condition - but through this audiobook, you will learn to transcend it.

After eight years, the cognitive demands of his job, and of being a single parent, finally became more than he could manage.

Story
This breakthrough book presents a disarmingly simple idea: The way we pay attention in daily life can play a critical role in our health and well-being. According to Dr. Les Fehmi, a clinical psychologist and researcher, many of us have become stuck in “narrow-focus attention”: a tense, constricted, survival mode of attention that holds us in a state of chronic stress - and which lies at the root of common ailments including anxiety, depression, ADD, stress-related migraines, and more.

The Brave Athlete solves the 13 most common mental conundrums athletes face in their everyday training and in races. You don't have one brain - you have three; your ancient Chimp brain that keeps you alive, your modern Professor brain that navigates the civilized world, and your Computer brain that accesses your memories and runs your habits (good and bad). They fight for control all the time and that's when bad things happen. What if you could stop the thoughts and feelings you don't want? You can.

Ruth wonderfully tells her story in her own words
Would you consider the audio edition of Being Brain Healthy to be better than the print version?
Ruth is not only a very knowledgeable author, she is also a well-polished narrator making this audio book very easy to listen to, relate to and understand. Excellent audio production. Highly recommended!
What did you like best about this story?
Ruth realized she needed to use her everyday routine activities, emphasizing things that can be changed in practical ways, and how to incorporate these changes into daily life, to get back to normal and maintain a healthy brain. Ruth shares how she did, and you can, use the power of thinking and acting to heal ourselves and live a much richer more conscious life
Which scene was your favorite?
The emotion in Ruth’s voice as she narrates how an automobile accident caused a major life changing event, taking her on a journey from mental devastation to mental wellness. It is a very personal story told by an author with great knowledge, intuitive wisdom and compassion. Ruth’s tells her story to help others and she does exactly that.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
There is nothing more precious than your mind, and Ruth’s book has given me tools to make the most of what I have here and now, and put me on a path to keep improving and sustaining it.
