Synopsis

Never before has the psychological whistle been blown so clearly on the detrimental effects of chronic worrying, anxious problem-solving, and the general non-stop mental chatter of our thinking minds. John Selby, researcher, therapist, and educator, points out that we are indeed a nation of unwitting thinkaholics. In his essential new book, Quiet Your Mind, he offers us an easy-to-follow mind-management process through which we can learn to let go of fear-based mental habits and enter a more heart-centered, intuitively-clear, and spiritually-peaceful engagement with everyday life.

With solid scientific grounding, yet written in a heart-to-heart tone, Selby offers a precise exposé of how anxious thoughts focused on mental judgments, beliefs, and attitudes generate emotions such as irritation, worry, guilt, anger, and despair - leaving little room in our lives for positive spontaneous engagement with the world. In this definitive guidebook, Selby teaches how we can transcend such fear-based ideas and attitudes that hold us back in life, through potent yet easily-mastered techniques to quiet over-busy thoughtflows and nurture more present-moment, love-based mindstates.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Stop thinking - start living! Each and every moment of our lives, we have a choice ... to be lost in thought, or fully engaged in life.

Most of us are 'thinkaholics', caught up in the never-ending chatter of our minds. We probably spend more time thinking about life than actually experiencing it. But it doesn't have to be that way. In this, his ground-breaking new book, leading psychologist, therapist and educator John Selby draws upon research and scientific study to show how we no longer have to be at the mercy of outdated attitudes and annoying mental habits.

By mastering the simple mind-management practices in this guide, you will discover how to keep your mind focused with increased calm, clarity and control. Discover how to live in the present moment, deal with mood swings, find success at work, experience a good night's sleep. Ultimately, quietening the mind will give you a whole new lease on your life, enabling you to connect more profoundly with yourself and with those around you, right here, right now.

'If you can't go on vacation or spend the day at the spa, Quiet Your Mind is the next best thing.' John Gray, author of Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus
