Thought Viruses: Powerful Ways to Change Your Thought Patterns and Get What You Want in Life

"Donald Lofland provides practical insights for overcoming the internal obstacles that stand between you and achieving your goals.  
--John Gray, author of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus


Thought viruses are unconscious thought patterns that distort our thinking and perception of the world. They arise out of our learned behaviors and disempowering beliefs, and they can have a crippling effect on our professional and personal lives. Thought viruses take a wide range of forms: a debilitating fear of failure (or fear of success); excessive worry and guilt; compulsions and addictions; destructive communication patterns in intimate relationships; self-sabotaging tendencies; and intense internal conflicts that can trigger chronic, degenerative disease.

In Thought Viruses, Donald Lofland integrates the tools of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), the life-transforming system of personal empowerment popularized by best-selling author Anthony Robbins, with mind-body healing methods to help readers identify thought virus infections and eradicate them through step-by-step interactive exercises and antiviral remedies.

As Dr. Lofland explains in this pioneering work, these self-defeating glitches in thinking strongly parallel biological and computer viruses in their capacity to take on a life of their own, self-replicate, and destabilize an entire system. Dr. Lofland outlines the types and structures of thought viruses and explicates his pathbreaking Thought Virus Therapy that helps reverse these emotional and psychological triggers that lead to self-destructive behavior and health problems. Compelling case studies of individuals whose allergies, phobias, and other health or emotional dysfunctions were healed through Dr. Lofland's unique anti-viral remedies illustrate the revolutionary potential of his system for self-transformation.

This is a sound, practical guide to improving inner strength, personal relationships, and health that can help anyone end self-defeating behaviors and move toward psychological and spiritual wholeness.
