What is Reddit's opinion of Rewire Your Brain: Think Your Way to a Better Life?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I have a book to recommend. It's called Rewire your Brain.

It has a lot of great information on neurology and certain brain hacks.

For example, the amygdala controls a lot of fight/flight and anxiety responses, and is activated by a lot of right hemisphere activity. Exercise and spatial activities activate the right hemisphere more, and can help to balance out brain activity. It's one of the reasons it's recommended for people with depression (which I have in spades :P)

I've also heard promising things about EMDR, so that might be worth a google.

Not to say any of this will fix your problems. I know how annoying the "have you tried taking vitamins?" shtick can be. But I do hope this helps ^_^

There is a book called Rewire you Brain and I think it will help you tremendously.

Just posted this elsewhere but http://www.amazon.com/Rewire-Your-Brain-Think-Better/dp/0470487291. A lifetime of reading self-help and this is hands down the best. Not all rah-rah motivational, just straight up instructions of empirically verified methods. Not entirely focused on just the thinking process directly, but also what habits to cultivate to promote positive thinking. Seriously, I cannot recommend this book enough.

Pretty broad book but talks a lot about changing behavior through change brain chemistry.

Fala de padrões de pensamento e como eles influenciam o seu comportamento.

I'm so sorry! I was in the same situation with my parents and family members.

I have read a ton of books on the subject, and I would recommend reading Rewire Your Brain. It's very practical, and has really helped me with my fight with anxiety. Also try the OCD workbook. You may not be diagnosed with OCD, but this book helps you battle the intrusive and ruminating thoughts.

Also, try meditation and Mindfulness Exercises. I thought it was a bunch of malarky before I tried it. It has made a world of difference. This website will help you get started.

Please don't be afraid to hop onto reddit and chat with the rest of us. We really want to help!

I would recommend Rewire you Brain by John B. Arden.

1. Self help books, I can recommend one - http://www.amazon.com/Rewire-Your-Brain-Think-Better/dp/0470487291
2. Exercising

Some others have already said it but the trick is there is no trick. You just get up and do it, not think about it, when you start to think about it you are already stuck. Wake up, get up. Not wake up and start thinking about how hard it is to get up or how much you don't want to get up yet etc. Just wake up and do it, eventually you will start to build a routine and it will be easier or you may even start to look forward to it. Take some sort of positive action, do anything even if it is minor. But do it regularly, stick with it for a set amount of time even if you aren't seeing immediate results just give yourself a chance to build some momentum, like maybe 30 or 60 days. You did not become the way you are overnight and you will not break those habits overnight either.

I would suggest exercise being one of those things, proper diet is a big one too, meditation can also have a major impact. In addition to doing something regularly I personally found cbt helpful. It may take a little time to get into the swing of it but start noticing and reframing negative thoughts add much at possible. Look into therapy if you can, if you can't afford it lots of areas have free or reduced rate therapy available for those with financial troubles and even though some people demonize the idea medication can may be worth looking into if making lifestyle changes isn't helping you may have a brain chemistry that is slightly out of the normal range.

Remember life is made up of experiences, you take those experiences to be "you" but they are not, they are just experiences, thoughts, feelings, etc. if you change them you will change your "self" in the process. I recommend this http://www.amazon.com/Rewire-Your-Brain-Think-Better/dp/0470487291 book to anyone who wants or feels they need a deeper understanding, but remember to just do something without overthinking it, so don't start reading the book and then not do anything. I like that book in particular because it is not really self help per se although it does have those elements to it, the ideas in it are practical and backed by science. If you do it, it WILL work.

I would not have spent the time typing that out just to troll. THIS. Your cynicism is probably a bigger issue than any of the stuff you believe to be your problem. You can change your mindset http://www.amazon.com/Rewire-Your-Brain-Think-Better/dp/0470487291 This is an easy to read, easy to understand book. It's technically self-help but it's not really self-help as it is written (and is) in a more scientific manner. Also everything in it is empirically true and it lays out step by step how to go about following the methods. But you believe what you want to believe. It's your loss. You are this way because you want to be this way http://www.amazon.com/Choice-Theory-Psychology-Personal-Freedom/dp/0060930144/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1462798234&sr=1-1&keywords=choice+theory It's easier, you don't have to do anything, you don't have to challenge yourself, you don't have to risk anything. You want to avoid pain, you want to avoid hardship, but the truth is, those things are unavoidable, you are only fooling yourself. Change isn't always easy, I won't say it is, there will be moments of pain, but there is an alternative if you choose to take it.
