Synopsis

The #1 New York Times bestselling author and psychiatrist Daniel G. Amen, MD, equips you with powerful weapons to battle the unseen dragons that are breathing fire on your emotional brain, driving unhealthy thoughts and behaviors, and robbing you of joy and contentment.

Your brain is always listening and responding to hidden influences, many of them harmful. Unless you recognize and deal with them, they can steal your happiness, spoil your relationships, and sabotage your health.

Dr. Amen shows you how to recognize the hidden dragons and gives you strategies to train them to help rather than hurt you. Your Brain Is Always Listening will enable you to:
• Overcome pain from your past
• Break bad habits
• Shut down self-defeating thoughts
• Shore up your capacity to cope with stress and uncertainty
• Reduce your vulnerability to people and practices that are hurting you
• Heal addictions

You can stop feeling sad, mad, nervous, or out of control and start being happier, calmer, and more in charge of your own destiny. Let one of the world's most renowned brain doctors show you how.
