Caroline Leaf will change your healthspan forever by empowering you with a simple five part plan, guided by three decades of clinical practice, that will make you more mindful of maintaining your mental and physical health. The techniques taught in Caroline's work have allowed me to work on myself in new ways that allow me to be more calm, clear, and compassionate. And you’re correct – good food, regular exercise, and enough sleep all contribute to a healthy lifestyle.

I talk about this book, the app and the process to lots of people as a result of my own experiences. Unfortunately, the pharmaceutical fixes that represent the central tools of modern medicine fall far short when it comes to such pervasive issues as anxiety, depression and other challenges to mood and mental wellness. I would definitely recommend reading if you’re in a place where you’re able to make some new habits and mental changes. The techniques taught in Caroline’s work have allowed me to work on myself in new ways that allow me to be more calm, clear and compassionate. Then, she processed her mind-set and understood that it was a natural response to potentially losing a special gift.

As someone who appreciates the human brain and its infinite capacity for growth and change, I was very excited to read Dr. Caroline Leaf leverages over 30 years of clinical experience to offer us empowering, effective and time-tested guidance for unravelling toxic stress and regaining control of our mental state, paving the way for happiness, satisfaction, and contentment.

For years I've taught leaders to guard their thinking above all else in life, because how a leader thinks determines what a leader will accomplish. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.In this podcast I talk about the negative effects of “toxic positivity”, and why we don’t have to be happy or positive all the time. She was one of the first in her field to study how the brain can change (neuroplasticity) with directed mind input. In this podcast I talk about why it is okay if things are not good or happy all the time, and how our “social media” expectations can impact our mental health. This book will read like a manual to guide you through the vicissitudes of life to a better and healthier place.

You think, and then you do, which cycles back to the original thought, changing it, and the thoughts connected to it, in a dynamic interrelationship.To be honest, by the time I got to part 2 I was too exhausted and overwhelmed by the amount of information to follow through on any of it. Her scientific Science of Thought techniques have transformed the lives of patients with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), learning disabilities, emotional traumas and released the potential of thousands of young students and adults. One of the things I love about Caroline is her help in understanding the difference in our 'brains' and our 'minds.

Most people can agree it’s important, we don’t need convincing, which seems to be the main focus of the book. Caroline Leaf is a cognitive neuroscientist with a PhD in Communication Pathology and a BSc Logopaedics specializing in cognitive and metacognitive neuropsychology. In this podcast I talk to professional therapists and codirectors of the Yellow Chair Collective Soo Jin Lee and Linda Yoon about the aftereffects of anti-Asian hate during the pandemic, dealing with racial trauma, understanding family history and generational trauma, their amazing new book Where I Belong, and so much more!The first part of the book explains the data behind the study and the second part discusses how you can implement it. I am a fan of anything that promotes positivity and this defnitely has some good points and viable tactics, but nothing particularly original and so much of the book felt like a commercial for the author's app and other books. And while many people believe that habits form over 21 days, it actually takes a lot longer than that. I'm also dyslexic and understanding how the brain works has really helped me with my own journey to coping with this disability.
