Book Description
Can you imagine a world where drug companies throw bake sales to make ends meet? A world without all the jaw clenching, nail biting, and stress-induced melt downs? Eighty percent of health problems today are due to the downstream effects of stress, so learning to break free from stress could dramatically improve your mood, your relationships, your health - - and your life.<BR><BR> In <I>Wired for Joy,</I> researcher and <I>New York Times - </I> bestselling author Laurel Mellin presents a simple yet proven way to train your brain to move through stress and back to joy. Her method has been called the missing link in health care, as it focuses on rewiring the emotional brain - the caldron of our stress - rather than the thinking brain, which has been the focus of most other stress-busting methods.<BR><br></p><P></p><P>Based on the cutting-edge science of neuroplasticity, Mellin outlines the five states of the emotional brain. For each state she presents a specific tool that easily and quickly switches the brain back to a state of well-being. Once you know how to make that switch, life becomes easier, and stress symptoms - depression, anxiety, overeating, high blood pressure - tend to fade. Finally, instead of focusing on the symptomsof stress, we can change the wiring that triggers it and experience new sense of freedom in our lives.</p><P></p><P>

This review is from: Wired For Joy!: A Revolutionary Method for Creating Happiness from Within (Paperback)
Great information...need to take the course to learn more how to apply to my own life situations though. It's really wonderful to learn about how the brain works and why we are affected the way we are. I personally have lots of issues to work through and will need some guidance, but if you're not bombarded with "history" then the application should be easier.

Like a life changer, vacation and new experience of the world all in one.,
By Zach Gold - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Wired For Joy!: A Revolutionary Method for Creating Happiness from Within (Paperback)
This is really more than a book, it is like a vacation and a reality check and a life changer.I suddenly felt unburdened, it shows you how to take weight and issues off your shoulders and simply enjoy the fruits of life. Just finished reading it. It was a quick, direct read, just engaging and real. Completely recommended. The author has worked for around 30 years in the field, I read her last book when I saw it on the NYT bestseller list. It pragmatically teaches you how to be happier -- you know when you have a friend who things always go well for, and you have another who is always down/ frustrated? You realize these are just pathways we establish. It teaches you how to switch tracks and just be, how to be happy- or joyful - everyday. I was in southern mexico near belize recently, and the poorest villagers had healthy and happy families, smiles on their faces. You realize happiness is a state of well-being, internally. This book shows you how to be in control of your happiness no matter the circumstances. It is incredible. 24 of 25 people found the following review helpful

This Method Changed my Life,
By Margaret M. Suddeth "Papillion" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Wired For Joy!: A Revolutionary Method for Creating Happiness from Within (Paperback)
I am a graduate of the EBT method and fully believe that I am a healthier, happier person as a result. Five years ago, before I discovered this life-changing method, I was an overweight yo-yo dieter who used food as a stress reliever. Today, I am a healthy weight and have kept off the 60 pounds I lost thanks to the tools discussed in this new book. I have also overcome several stress related illnesses, again using the tools I learned in this method, as mentioned in this new book.I found the book easy to read and entertaining. I was fascinated and riveted by the scientific explanations on how the brain works in regards to the stress we encounter in our everyday lives. Even as a graduate and practitioner of the EBT method I am continually amazed by the refined development this method employs to embrace new science and research in brain science. The methods and tools outlined in this excellent overview and practical guide of the EBT program are effective and easy to use in everyday life. Read the book, try the tools and see if you agree with me that this book can change your life for the better, freeing you from the strangle-hold of stress and moving you to more moments of joy. 20 of 21 people found the following review helpful

A great introduction to the method!,
By Liat M. Gat "Liat Miriam" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Wired For Joy!: A Revolutionary Method for Creating Happiness from Within (Paperback)
I couldn't wait for this book to come out, and I just finished reading it. I'm so glad I bought it. I've been involved in the EBT community for a couple of years, participating in telegroups and practicing the skills. Even so, this book helped me tremendously, especially in the area of identifying my brain state. It really helped me increase my commitment to using the tools to switch my brain state to 1, over and over again, until it becomes second nature. Also, it can help explain to others what you are doing and they can see if they might like to try it themselves! For therapy-skeptics out there, this book is different! It's not talk-therapy: it's brain science (neuroplasticity). Read it, and then join a telegroup and the EBT community!With Joy, Liat |
