Synopsis

You are not your thoughts! Learn how to overcome negative thinking habits and self-doubt so you can experience more confidence, freedom, and peace of mind.

When you understand how your mind works, unhelpful and noisy thoughts move to the background, and your awareness shifts to something quieter and deeper. This is true peace of mind. And it's not some unattainable goal reserved for the most enlightened. Anyone can experience it.

From life coach and psychologist Amy Johnson, this user-friendly guide offers a no-willpower approach informed by ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience to help you change your negative thinking habits, make peace with your inner critic, and experience more self-confidence and freedom than you ever thought possible.

Our minds are hardwired to expect the worst. They love to replay the past and predict the future. They have strong opinions that feel solid and meaningful, but are always changing and contradicting themselves. When we think our thoughts define who we are, we suffer. But when we see the truth—and we glimpse the space that lies beyond those self-created stories—we suffer far less. This book will help you glimpse that truth, and use it to find peace.

This book for me was a hidden gem. I bought it from a hidden section back in barnes and nobles and it was certainly waiting for me.

It's hard for me to gauge the impact of this, because I heard about it so much from Heather at Half Size Me (website/podcast). She's been talking about this book a ton in relation to your thoughts around weight loss (and has an awesome YouTube series on your lower brain, which says all sorts of hein......more

You are not defined by your thoughts or experiences~ a collection of real life scenarios from Dr. Amy & her clientele to reflect back to the reader how we get stuck in the past or future to define our current selves. The book is an interesting read but not what I expected from the back cover blurb.......more
