    About this audiobook

    The bestselling author of Undoing Depression offers a brain-based guide to help us finally get rid of the bad habits that plague us

    We humans tend to get in our own way time and time again-whether it comes to not speaking up for ourselves, going back to bad romantic partners, our umpteenth diet, or engaging in any of a range of bad habits we just can't seem to shake. In Rewire, renowned psychotherapist Richard O'Connor, PhD, reveals why our bad habits die so hard. We have two brains-one a thoughtful, conscious, deliberative self, and the other an automatic self that does most of the work without our attention. Using new research and knowledge about how the brain works, the audiobook clears a path to lasting, effective change for behaviors that include:

    • procrastination
    • overeating
    • chronic disorganization
    • staying in bad situations
    • excessive worrying
    • risk-taking
    • passive aggression
    • self-medication
    • and more

    Bringing together many different fields in psychology and brain science, Rewire offers a refreshing, science-based new paradigm for readers of Charles Duhigg and Frank Lawlis.

      The author seems to be in love with enumerations and ordered lists. After se cond chapter I could not bare any more. The book sounds like Spam blogging on internet. 10 ways to become... Each of them divided in 15 more subtitles that in turn are subdivided in 20 more

      It's hard to give any self-help book a 5-star rating. They just aren't all that thrilling. This one probably deserves it. It is not the usual with a little bit of meat said over and over again to fill the pages. This book contains a lot of information on self-destructive behavior. I can't see that any one person would have all of the various types of behavior described. The idea is to see these many possibilities and perhaps find yourself in it somewhere. With the sections there are also exercises. If you have bad habits to overcome, I recommend this book as a help. If you don't, but know people who do, it could be enlightening.

      It’s been a while since I read such a conventional source for advice (e.g., everyone has sexual desires, some people are just repressing them; engaging in BDSM as your first sexual activity is a sign that something’s wrong with you). Other than that, this contains a lot of the usual behavioral psych stuff—we’re influenced by social proof, we’re vulnerable to various cognitive errors, etc.—and advocates mindfulness and compassionate self-awareness. Those sound like good ideas for sure, though I do wonder how much reading a book can help a person in need of serious change.
