Not interested

I honestly didn't care to read this title. I expected a title similar to "Scattered Minds" or "The Mindful Body". A piece that was thoughtful, in depth, and based in science. I did not realize that scripture was classified as "neuroscience". Educational materials and science based work should be just that. Science. Theology skews opinions, studies, and outcomes in favor of said theology. Some of her quotings of scriptures were also taken out of context to fit her narrative(the handful I read before shutting the book in frustration). I'm disappointed to say the least.

Can't wait to try it.

Rewire your brain. Yes please! This is an easy to follow along book that is educational and theraputic. Loved it.

Had Great Hopes...

Neuroplasticity is a thing. I'm aware of the tremendous help it can bring to us, having been introduced to Annie Hopper's DNRS system a year ago and having so much in my life turned around by it. I thought this, a Christian look at it, would be interesting and helpful, but... Ms Leaf takes so much scripture out of context, twisting its meaning. She also, while giving a great deal of information about how the brain works, fails to deliver on her promise. She says it is a 21-day detox for your brain, but she somehow never seems to really get to how that works, what it looks like. She gives a very vague 5-step program without any real guidance and that's it. If you want more, you have to purchase her program -- reviews says the workbook is useless -- and hope the program actually delivers. Very disappointed. Very disillusioned by this author.
