Publisher's summary

Use neuroscience to retrain your brain and make better life choices.

"In order to make healthy decisions, we must learn to stop running from our emotions."

Dr. McKibben's approach combines the study of the body, the brain, and the interaction between emotion and memory. She enables us tap into the biomechanics of emotions, resolve triggered feelings, and make better life choices.

Drop: Making Great Decisions is filled with interviews that illustrate how real people have applied this method to their lives. This book can help if you've ever asked yourself:

• How do I manage my emotions and reduce my stress?
• Why do I have so much self-doubt and anxiety?
• Can I silence my critical inner voice?
• How can I cultivate positive self-esteem?
• How can I stop feeling emotionally disrupted?
• How do I manage my addiction and stop abusing substances?
• How do I overcome my eating disorder?
• What are the secrets to getting better sleep?
• How can I deal with difficult, disruptive, and toxic people?
• How do I model high self-esteem and healthy emotional regulation for my child?
• Why do I keep attracting toxic or manipulative partners?
• What is the best way to achieve optimal, mental athletic performance?

Dr. McKibben guides us through her revolutionary and innovative self-help technique of dropping to the blank screen to learn how to manage triggered feelings and to understand why we feel the way we do. By monitoring neuromuscular signals that indicate unconscious triggered emotions, we can work with the brain rather than against it. She teaches us a practical, self-reliant method to retrain our brains and change our responses to life's stressors.

Learn to use neuroscience to activate the brain in the way it is designed to work emotionally, and to change your brain's response to yourself and other people.

You can use your emotional instincts to make great decisions. Trust your brain and set yourself up for self-reliance.

Dr. Helen McKibben talks about making decisions

Dr. Helen McKibben talks about an interesting topic in Drop: Making Great Decisions

In Drop: Making Great Decisions, the reader is introduced to Dr. Helen McKibben, who also narrates here book. I have/haven't listened to anything from this author before, and I really enjoyed it. The audiobook was the perfect format for this type of information. Not only does the doctor share her expertise, and enters the world of neuroscience, and how you can retrain your brain, (note that not everyone can do that, especially if it's broken, and that's personal experience), but she also conducts interviews. The retraining of your brain in this instance is not about healing your brain, but making better choices and decisions, by thinking more before acting. It's an interesting self-help book, and the doctor seems to have a lot of experience. The narration could be a big clearer in sections, but it was a good story to listen to. This book deserves both a read and a listen! I felt that the interviews were pre-planned, but they were also engaging in conversation. Drop: Making Great Decisions on audiobook is a definite listening recommendation by Amy's Bookshelf Reviews. I look forward to listening to many more titles by this author. Amy's Bookshelf Reviews recommends that anyone who listens to this book to also write a review.
