It is easy to read, has scientific knowledge in it, of course, but it is not bogged down with concepts that are out of an ordinary reader’s grasp. Everything you need for most work is included in the book, though Leaf does note that some trauma work may require the assistance of a professional.So, rather than trying to figure out the why behind our traumas, a better approach is to focus on healing. One of the difficult things about trauma is that we’re left wondering why the traumatic event happened. The last few chapters of the book were my favorites as they really brought everything together and helped me see how the 5-Step Neurocycle program can really impact my life in exponential ways. During her years in clinical practice and her work with thousands of underprivileged teachers and students in SA and Africa as a Communication Pathologist and cognitive neuroscientist, she developed an original theory of how we think as well as tools and processes that have transformed the lives of patients with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), learning disabilities (ADD, ADHD), autism, dementias, emotional mental health issues and has shown thousands of students and adults and corporations how to use their mind to detox and grow their brain. In fact, a number of studies indicate that close to 90 percent of conditions like cancer, diabetes, and heart disease are caused by toxic stress.

This book gives you paradigm shifting insight on the brain, how it works, and how you can become an empowered participant in creating new neural pathways. And, if we continue down this rabbit hole, we can feel worse and worse about our lives, which affects our mental health.

There's hope and help available to us, and the road to healthier thoughts and peak happiness may actually be shorter than you think. As someone who appreciates the human brain and its infinite capacity for growth and change, I was very excited to read Dr. In an earlier blink, we discovered that, in addition to getting enough sleep, eating well, and exercising, mind management plays a role in a healthy lifestyle. If life is a battle, than the concept of neurocycling is like cleaning your sword and shield on the daily basis.
