You possess the most remarkable system in all of biology, the human brain. You have the power to direct it with the most complex set of processes in the universe, the mind. When you use this creative power consciously, you not only actualize the power to excel in whatever you do, you can direct your experience in ways that make life fulfilling and meaningful. As wonderful as this might sound, for many the journey may be anything but. Every major survey shows that the majority of us are plagued by stress and anxiety, which is toxic to the brain. The new science is transcend stress, regain higher brain function, and the mind lights up with creative intelligence. Mystic Cool shows us how to calmly turn our backs on stress and walk in the direction of the brilliant life we were born to live.
For forty-years, Don Joseph Goewey has focused on the innate potential in human beings to transform their lives. He has worked with some of the best in the field in developing approaches to shift the most stressful situations any of us will ever face, from people diagnosed with life threatening illness, to parents who have lost children, to refugees of war who have lost everything. Don has studied and consulted with Carl R. Rogers, Ph.D., the founder of humanistic psychology. He is internationally known for his work with Gerald Jampolsky, M.D. and the staff at the Center for Attitudinal Healing in establishing a model for psychological support based on attitude.
Don is currently president of ProAttitude, a human performance firm dedicated to transforming the workplace through a unique and powerful approach to ending stress.
Previously, he served as executive director of the International Center for Attitudinal Healing for twelve years, directed an AIDS agency at the height of the epidemic in the Bay Area, and was the lead executive at Stanford University Medical School’s Department of Psychiatry.
Don is uniquely qualified to translate recent breakthroughs in the neuroplasticity of attitude into a practical approach for personal transformation.
Loved, loved, loved this book. So much so that I invited the author, Don Joseph Goewey, to chat about it on my radio show. He was gracious enough to accept and you can listen to the broadcast on-demand at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/ellenbarone.
I'm taking notes from this book and will use some of the suggested practices. This book is a lot more science based than the title suggests. I'm glad I didn't judge this book by it's cover.
