How to rewire your brain to improve virtually every aspect of your life-based on the latest research in neuroscience and psychology on neuroplasticity and evidence-based practices Not long ago, it was thought that the brain you were born with was the brain you would die with, and that the brain cells you had at birth were the most you would ever possess. Your brain was thought to be “hardwired” to function in predetermined ways. It turns out that's not true. Your brain is not hardwired, it's "softwired" by experience. This book shows you how you can rewire parts of the brain to feel more positive about your life, remain calm during stressful times, and improve your social relationships. Written by a leader in the field of Brain-Based Therapy, it teaches you how to activate the parts of your brain that have been underactivated and calm down those areas that have been hyperactivated so that you feel positive about your life and remain calm during stressful times. You will also learn to improve your memory, boost your mood, have better relationships, and get a good night sleep. Reveals how cutting-edge developments in neuroscience, and evidence-based practices can be used to improve your everyday life Other titles by Dr. Arden include: Brain-Based Therapy-Adult, Brain-Based Therapy-Child, Improving Your Memory For Dummies and Heal Your Anxiety Workbook Dr. Arden is a leader in integrating the new developments in neuroscience with psychotherapy and Director of Training in Mental Health for Kaiser Permanente for the Northern California Region Explaining exciting new developments in neuroscience and their applications to daily living, Rewire Your Brain will guide you through the process of changing your brain so you can change your life and be free of self-imposed limitations.

Rewire Your Brain is one of the finest books I have read on psychology and self-help. It provides the most viable solutions as how one can achieve greater emotional stability and happiness. It does this because of its clear understanding of the small area of the brain, the amygdala (ah-MIG-da-la) which controls the emotions of a human being. The second chapter Taming Your Amygdala is the key chapter of the book. (The first chapter is a rather lengthy detailed description of the functions of the different areas of the brain, most interesting to someone who is biology major) This chapter explains how the amygdala can make decisions and have you implement them without you have any conscious intention. For example, you are standing on a street corner curb while it is raining and you suddenly jump back and a taxi drives by nearly splashing you. You made no conscious decision based on recognizing the taxi, processing the information and then deciding to jump. Your amygdala recognized the danger, knew what had to be done and ordered the muscles to do it. The amygdala then makes the prefrontal cortex aware of what has happened. Then you think, plan a course of action, “I’d better not stand so close to the curb when it is raining.” As well as causing the body to go into a fear mode from external events, the amygdala can be affected by stored memories. If one has had a bad experience with a bear, discussing the event can trigger the amygdala to produce the same stress hormones and reactions as if the bear was in the room. Memories can therefore trigger panic attacks. The book also points out how the amygdala signals the other organs of the body and causes them to release hormones to activate other organs of your body. For example, you are about to give a presentation at a large business function and as you walk to the rostrum your pulse rate goes up, you are sweating a bit and feel your muscles tightening. These reactions are the amygdala going into action expressing the emotion fear. The author points out that it takes a determined effort by a person to change the functioning of the amygdala by conscious effort in confronting the fears. If one is fearful of giving public speeches, practice and give more public speeches. He wisely points out that backing down to a fear only makes the situation worse because the neural pathways are created that backdown is the proper response and it is easier to back down the next time, but the fear only grows worse not better. In addition, the fear produces to other emotions: grief and anger. The person is now angry at himself for not being able to give the speech as others do and is in grief for not being able to do what others do easily.My only criticism of the book is that it seems to only recognize two primary emotions: fear and anxiety. But anxiety is really fear combined with anticipation. His book does not recognize the work done by Robert Plutchek Emotion: A Psychoevolutionary Synthesis In this book the author states there are eight primary emotions, which come in pairs fear-anger, joy-grief, anticipation-surprise and disgust-acceptance. The amygdala is also responsible for the feelings of happiness and good cheer we feel at weddings, parties and other cheerful occasions. This book could have been more complete in describing the emotions if these had been included. Dr. Arden clearly shows how the emotion of fear can destroy a person’s happiness. Fear leads to anger and depression that in turn get worse as the amygdala increases the neural pathways. A person can end up living a “terrified” life and the terror gets worse and worse. But he also shows clearly that brain can be rewired, and how to do it, for individuals to attain a higher level of peace and happiness, in short, the emotion of Joy. Definitely should be read by anyone seriously interested in changing themselves or understanding those around them who are debilitated by fear and anxiety.
