Mind Training: The Science of Self-Empowerment

Mind Training—the art of tweaking formerly subconscious brain processes to eliminate self-destructive behaviors, enhance health and vitality, and supercharge success potential.

We know that exercising regularly will bring numerous benefits, from improved health and wellness to enhanced creativity, but most do not know that training the mind will bring a host of benefits too.

There are numerous excellent books that provide insights into how the mind works, but they rarely offer guidance for how to use this information to make positive life changes. Conversely, there are many self-help books that offer guidance, but they generally offer little scientific backing for their claims. Mind Training provides a substantial bridge between these two approaches as it presents solid science-based principles that can be put to life-enhancing use. By removing the smoke and mirrors that frequently surround the self-help movement, sorting out the truth from the fiction, and highlighting areas that are backed by solid science, Mind Training reveals what is realistically possible.

Mind Training examines how the brain works, including how it can create mechanical like habits, employ self-destructive behaviors, reward failure and more. It shows how consciousness is built upon unconscious processes and the kind of impact this can have. This mind exploration is carried out with a keen focus on how this information can be used to improve the quality of life by maximizing natural talents and abilities. While this is a self-help book, it does not offer easy answers and quick cures. Rather, it presents a way of life that promotes a process of conscious living. Having an awareness of the ‘whys’ behind some of our behaviors will reduce many of the self-destructive patterns that all of us are subject to in certain areas of our lives. Understanding some of our brain chemistry mechanisms allows us to take some manual control to increase our successes and overall feelings of well-being. Discovering some of the automatic mind mechanisms makes it possible to offset the ability for others to exploit them.

There has been a great deal said about the power of the mind and the impacts of our beliefs, but, up until now, there have been few tools provided to create the changes at the level where they exert their greatest power. Mind Training is a comprehensive overview of the workings of the mind and the many ways this information can be used to effect real change in every aspect of our lives.

Life educates your mind to accept less, thereby limiting and defining you. You can do it better. Drawing on over 200 solid scientific studies, Mind Training is the self-help workout regimen that will enhance every corner of your life.
