Switch on Your Brain

The Key to Peak Happiness, Thinking, and Health

De: Dr. Caroline Leaf

Narrado por: Joyce Bean

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.

I think she has something good, but hard to tell

I honestly thought it was silly when I saw reviews saying that the audio performance kills this book. And I feel really bad for saying this, because I am not a voiceover artist either, but this makes me feel like I’m in the 1980s being pontificated to by a cold heartless psychiatrist. It goes in and out of science and scripture which might be great. It just feels like it’s talking at me and not speaking to my soul, which is what Caroline likely intended with this book - to speak to our souls. I do think if Caroline had read her own book it would’ve been something I could listen to. I have heard her interviews and I love them. I wish I had used my audible credit for a different book honestly.

No PDF

First, the speaker’s voice was horrible; but, the information in this book was great! A accompanying PDF would have been very beneficial. I would suggest getting the actual book or buying the author’s app. Buying the audible version was not worth it.

Great Content, Awful Narration

LISTEN TO THE OTHER RATINGS. Great content but the narration sounds like a robot reading it.

Fantastic content. Had a hard time with the narration voice but worth it.

I found the content fascinating and ended up buying the Kindle book to be able to follow along (or read instead of listening to the voice that sounded very robotic to me). The bonus was there are some great diagrams in the Kindle version that are really worth it. If I can do what this book recommends, it will be a life-changer.

very thorough

flowed very well, easy to follow, highly recommend, didn't want to pause, not even to answer the phone
