Description

UNLOCK YOUR BRAIN'S POTENTIAL TO TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE

In this follow-up to My Mind Is Not Always My Friend, Steven Jay Fogel explores how our default programming - the automatic choices we make in life without even noticing - can sabotage us, and how we can learn to interrupt our self-defeating behavior and make better choices. Readers of the engaging and conversational Your Mind Is What Your Brain Does for a Living will take away step-by-step advice they can practice immediately. Specifically, readers will learn:
*How default programming is formed, how it influences behavior, and how to disengage from it to lead a more fulfilling life
*What scientists have discovered about our ability to "rewire" our brain to act in ways that will make us happier
*How to resolve long-term dysfunctional relationships that are causing stress, frustration, and pain


Steven Jay Fogel, a cofounder of Westwood Financial Corporation, one of the leading private commercial real estate owners in the country, is also the author of My Mind Is Not Always My Friend and The Yes-I-Can Guide to Mastering Real Estate. Mark Bruce Rosin, a former senior editor of Parents magazine and a contributing editor to Harper's Bazaar, is the author or coauthor of nine nonfiction books.

Advance Praise

“Steve Fogel's book is a great journey to finding happiness and inner peace. He offers great insight into how we are programmed, how to understand the brain, and how to make positive changes.”

—KRIS JENNER, TV PERSONALITY AND MANAGER/PRODUCER

“Anyone who wants to lead a happier and healthier life must read this book. I couldn't put it down.”

—EARL MINDELL, R.Ph., Ph.D., AUTHOR OF NEW VITAMIN BIBLE AND PRESCRIPTION ALTERNATIVES

“In our most private moments, we all see the patterns in our lives that hold us back. But what we don’t see clearly is how they were set in motion or how to go about changing things. Fogel lays out a blueprint for both—a map with easy-to-follow exercises designed to reset ‘faulty wir- ing’ and create the potential to live healthier, more accepting, and more loving lives.”

—CONNELL COWAN, PH.D., COAUTHOR OF SMART WOMEN/FOOLISH CHOICES

“How can you choose from the flurry of self-help books that attempt to help us navigate through our rapidly changing times? The beauty of this book resides in its comprehensive appreciation of how we can control the timeless unconscious patterns of our childhoods right up to how the cur- rent contributions of the neurosciences can help us live more peacefully in the present.”

—FRED M. SANDER, M.D., ASSOCIATE CLINICAL PROFESSOR, DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHIATRY, WEILL CORNELL MEDICAL COLLEGE, AND AUTHOR OF INDIVIDUAL AND FAMILY THERAPY

“Fogel provides a compelling ‘playbook’ on a way to achieve a full and rewarding life.”

—FRANK MANCUSO, FORMER CHAIRMAN AND CEO, PARAMOUNT PICTURES AND MGM STUDIOS

“Among the many wise messages in Steve Fogel’s book is that in order to nurture those you love, you must first nurture yourself. To learn how best to do that, turn to page 1 and keep reading.”

—ANN PLESHETTE MURPHY, PARENTING EDUCATOR AND AUTHOR OF THE 7 STAGES OF MOTHERHOOD

“Steve Fogel’s book serves as a practical bridge between understanding oneself and making the necessary changes for a more meaningful life. As a psychiatrist, I can say that it does so by providing building blocks for constructive self-awareness in a most accessible and organized fashion.”

—DIANE WEISS, M.D.

“Steve Fogel shows the reader how to live a successful and balanced life full of purpose. I am impressed that his positive and educated messaging will help many find their own roads to success.”

—TOM GORES, FOUNDER, CHAIRMAN, AND CEO, PLATINUM EQUITY, LLC

“Every day our volunteer coaching program assists young adults seeking jobs in a difficult economy. By the time they find us, these college grads have met with so much rejection or lack of responsiveness from the work- place that they feel anxious and utterly defeated. I can think of no better way to help them regain hope and agency than to recommend this book. Rather than feel like victims, they learn to understand their own thought processes, let go of self-defeating patterns, make mindful choices, and increase inner strength. What an enormous gift to a young person start- ing out in life!”

—WENDY SCHUMAN, FOUNDER, GRAD LIFE CHOICES, AND FORMER EXECUTIVE EDITOR, PARENTS MAGAZINE

“Bringing together the latest neuroscience, mind/body work, cognitive/ behavioral psychology, and the science and art of mindfulness, Steven Fogel’s most recent book presents any reader the direction and tools to climb out of the trap that keeps one from achieving a more fulfilling, transformative, and creative life.”

—ROLAND A. FRAUCHIGER, M.A., M.F.T.


“Steve Fogel's book is a great journey to finding happiness and inner peace. He offers great insight into how we are programmed, how to understand the brain, and how to make positive changes.”
