Anxiety is natural. Calm is learned. If you didn’t learn yesterday, you can learn today. It’s not easy, of course. Once your natural alarm system is triggered, it’s hard to find the off switch. Indeed, you don’t have an off switch until you build one. Tame Your Anxiety shows you how. Listeners learn about the brain chemicals that make us feel threatened and the chemicals that make us feel safe. You’ll see how your brain turns on these chemicals with neural pathways built from past experience, and, most important, you discover your power to build new pathways.

Success in work, love, and life depends on developing habits that activate the powerful prefrontal cortex when we need it most. Unfortunately, under stress, the human brain tends to revert to emotional habits we forged in toddlerhood: blame, denial, avoidance, reacting to a jerk like a jerk, and turning our connections into cold shoulders - or worse. In Soar Above, renowned relationship expert Dr. Steven Stosny offers a groundbreaking formula for building new, pressure-resistant habits.

We humans tend to get in our own way time and time again - whether it comes to not speaking up for ourselves, going back to bad romantic partners, our umpteenth diet, or engaging in any of a range of bad habits we just can’t seem to shake. In Rewire, renowned psychotherapist Richard O’Connor, PhD, reveals why our bad habits die so hard. We have two brains - one a thoughtful, conscious, deliberative self, and the other an automatic self that does most of the work without our attention.

Success in work, love, and life depends on developing habits that activate the powerful prefrontal cortex when we need it most. Unfortunately, under stress, the human brain tends to revert to emotional habits we forged in toddlerhood: blame, denial, avoidance, reacting to a jerk like a jerk, and turning our connections into cold shoulders - or worse. In Soar Above, renowned relationship expert Dr. Steven Stosny offers a groundbreaking formula for building new, pressure-resistant habits.

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.

Unhappiness is our brain’s natural default state, but we’re taught that happiness is “normal.” This makes your natural ups and downs seem like a disorder. It suggests that others are happy and you are missing out. And it diverts you from building skills that would actually spark your happy brain chemicals. Why are we getting such bad information about our biology? It’s politics. Not politics in the sense of electing leaders, but politics in the sense of winning support by saying what’s popular.

Before Happiness is about what comes before both. Because before we can be happy or successful, we need to first develop the ability to see that positive change is possible. Only once we learn to see the world through a more positive lens can we summon all our motivation, emotion, and intelligence to achieve our personal and professional goals.

This book is about pleasure. It’s also about pain. Most important, it’s about how to find the delicate balance between the two, and why now more than ever finding balance is essential. We’re living in a time of unprecedented access to high-reward, high-dopamine stimuli: drugs, food, news, gambling, shopping, gaming, texting, sexting, Facebooking, Instagramming, YouTubing, tweeting....

In Happy Derren Brown explores changing concepts of happiness - from the surprisingly modern wisdom of the Stoics and Epicureans in classical times right up until today, when the self-help industry has attempted to claim happiness as its own. He shows how many of self-help’s suggested routes to happiness and success – such as positive thinking, self-belief and setting goals – can be disastrous to follow and, indeed, actually cause anxiety. Happy aims to reclaim happiness and to enable us to appreciate the good things in life, in all their transient glory.

Need in our world
Think book does not go deep but it explains the crucial parts of how our brains work and is something that has helped me understand why I do what I do.

Read reviews to understand format ;)
Excellent understanding of the brain chemicals that seek to keep us "safe" aka "happy". Note basic premise of human evolution, but not annoyingly so.
Listened through, and will now go back and review the periodic workbook "exercise" questions included... glad I have the physical copy for this, though could have written them down if I'd understood the format. Will be discussing with my bookgroup, and only wish I'd known about the 45 days recommended to accomplish new goals (with the new understanding as presented) so I could have completed one before our discussion - but again, my fault for not reading reviews ;)

Great info.
The narrator is fine, too. I’m not sure what the expectations are but her delivery was well paced and matched the content well.

Very helpful
The information in this book has really helped me. Don’t let the reviews about the narrator deter you from buying it. Putting it on a faster speed makes it just fine. The info is worth it.

We can control much that’s happened to us and how we interpret this.
Well written, well read. Good “ food for thought food for thought.” Wish I had heard this book many years ago. However. I am interested in trying to apply this knowledge in my advanced years.

Brilliant!
A must read for anyone looking to enhance their life experience. Loretta’s book gives the backbone and skeletal structure to the otherwise loosely understood concepts of movies like “The Secret” and “What The Bleep Do We Know”. Whether you are looking to be an effective parent or to live consciously and with empowerment, I highly recommend this book and all the info it holds. Thank you Loretta for writing this book!
