I have enjoyed Dr Leaf's books over the years, but this one is tops! If you are looking for a simple process to improve your thinking and your happiness in life this is it. It is not complicated. After reading most of the book, I went ahead and got the 3-day free trial of her app. That helped solidify the things that I had read in the book and gave me an understanding on how to do it. She does have a lot of scientific research in there on brain chemistry etc, but it is not complicated and is certainly reinforces the fact that we have the power to change our minds and thus the structure of our brain. Her You Tubes are also excellent. DR leaf is a Christian but this book does not have a spiritual focus, more of a scientific focus, but the principles seem harmonious with the word of God.

Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess by Caroline Leaf is an excellent book. Caroline Leaf's research on mental health and its prevention is genuinely remarkable. I learned so much from this book. Knowing someone who has struggled with anxiety and stress, I found Dr. Leaf's insights particularly enlightening. We are empowered to manage our thinking, which can cause the entire cellular structure to shift and bring balance to our mind, body, and brain. We could grow neuroplasticity and control our mental mess by reducing anxiety, stress, and toxic thinking. Dr. Leaf gave us five scientifically proven steps to follow: She gave us a 66-day challenge plan. Good sleep, routine exercise, following good or positive habits or routines, and mindful, nutritious eating play a big part in this transformation in the 66-day challenge. She was part of my book club live, and I followed her 66-day plan. I love this book and think it is a fantastic breakthrough miracle for people who believed they had no control over their brains and thoughts. This book is a power and a testament to how we can control mental diseases and live a fulfilled life. This book is a must-get book.

I have often wondered why, when we know the right thing to do, it is so hard to actually do that right thing. We know all about eating right and exercise yet are overweight and sedentary.

This book provided me with the reason right action is so hard and gave me a strategy to develop it. Changing thoughts is hard work and changing thoughts is required for changing actions. It takes 21 days of mind management work, Leaf writes, to change a thought and 63 days to see that thought into action, forming a habit.

It's hard work to change but Leaf gives us the tools we need. This book contains a clearly defined strategy of five steps from toxic thought to beneficial action. She thoroughly explains the steps, gives suggestions how to complete each step, and gives examples from her own life. I really like that her steps and the transition that results have been verified by clinical trials.

I highly recommend this book. Cleaning up toxic thoughts and establishing a well being mindset is not easy work. It will become a daily practice. 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.

I’m going to be working out of this book with my therapist and so far what I’ve read is just blowing my mind. It’s amazing. The author who is a neurosurgeon is also a Christian, but she can associate functions of our brain with verses that are in the Bible, it’s just mind blowing and if you read it I am telling you, your think positively for the rest of your life. There’s a 21 day detox for the brain and we’re not having that cleanses or anything like that. We’re talking about exercise practice work at changing our thoughts not just daily, but continually throughout the day and until you’re asleep, don’t speak negative things into your life because negative is what you’ll get it’ll be what you expect. That’s just a preview so wait till I get into the rest of it and I will update this review. If you’re at all interested in how to expand your brain and use it to its fullest and use it to your benefit then read this it’s not rocket science even though she’s a neurosurgeon everything is in Laymans terms and you shouldn’t have any issues with that. Thanks for allowing me to do a half review at this point go get it hurry !!!!

I was hoping that this would be the book where she'd explain in detail and with examples the five steps of the neurocycling process--which is her core recommendation and is at the heart of her work. I like the scientific grounding, but there is again surprisingly cursory attention paid to the actual steps. If I were her publisher, I'd tell her to significantly increase that portion of the book and slim down the rest. A lot more examples, a lot more stories would be helpful. Concrete, practical application of her method.

This book is proving to be life changing for me. I would highly recommend the app Neurocycle. I got it first and within days I could see the clouds starting to part and the sun peak through. The Neurocycle app is helping me clear mental clutter that I have experienced and been been controlled by for years. I talk and talk about these issues and no one ever understood including the one glazed eyed therapist I went to for a few visits. This work is helping me in all areas of my life. I bought the book secondary to starting the app as a way to get more context to what I was doing. I usually don’t like lengthy explanations of why something is the way it is but in this case I actually am using all this information. I plan to Neurocycle the rest of my life. I also plan to reread this book immediately to take in more.

Update

After reading this book for a week now. I am confident to say that it is good information but its way to repetitive. It's like Dr.Leaf is trying to convince me that her Neurocycle 5 steps work. But she does not teach how to use the steps in detail. It is almost as if she is trying to convince me to buy the NEUROCYCLE App that is like $70 a year for a subscription.

I understand her research and I know it is real but it's nothing knew. We all know the mind plays a huge part in our lives but no one really sits down to teach us how to control ourselves. And she doesn't do it either.

I really wanted to like this book more.

To all of you who want this book to change your life let me tell you it won't.

The information are only tools.

To have the change we need special attention and to follow a program.

Talk to a therapist. They will be able to help you directly in the spot of your personal issue.

i have found in brain tramutic experience with the mind my thoughts when was 10 yrs old and now its forming a pattern just like how she describes it. i had a stroke guess what my life went into turmoil because i'd allow it too.i have experienced hardship, death of friends, emotional , physcial , scars from the past which stil haunt me lol but i am cousiously aware of them , this book will open mind to things you need to be cousiously aware of because negative thoughts are harming you physical and mentally without been aware of it . she talks about thoughts how real are to you. i use subilmal messege its science proven , postive books , youtubes, 63 days is real (min ). change round about , you feel a clear a focus strong feeling, but her books deal with theses challenges in life .EVERYONE suffers from depression they got a label on it , enbrance it dont block it .Dr leaf teaches you how in detail to change it , you chose in books ,audio , Everyone is differnt .

She knows what knowlege can do for a person i highly recommened her because i dont put nonsense behind my name.i put quality stuff. she is one of them. DR Leaf gets my 6 stars ,Buy here book because you are holding yourself back nonone else :)

Dr Caroline Leaf is my favourite neuroscientist and I have purchased many of her books and the first one i read, truly saved my life. My life has changed forever and I continue to read about the mind brian connection and how we can control negative and filter theough all our thoughts. We are in control of our thoughts and it's amazing. EVERYONE SHOULD READ this. It will greatly improve your life.

Most of the book speaks about nadeem reinforces the mind body connection that is so often ignored when dealing with stress and anxiety. And, you can control all of that. That's the kicker message if the book

I came across Dr. Leaf a couple of years ago through a presentation she did at Pastor Steven Furtick’s online church. It was a brilliant, insightful, practical presentation, dealing with mind related matters that every person alive on this planet would do well do incorporate into their lives. I subscribed to her app for a while too. Also follow her on YouTube - she has a wealth of material on there.

Anyway, I was excited when this book came out. She has a number of books. This is my first one. 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. I haven’t finished reading it yet but based on what I have read so far, and based on Caroline’s previous work, I whole heartedly recommend everyone to get this book. It’s worth every penny I spent on it and more!

Excellent item, Excellent service. Fantastic Book

Well written, informative and interesting
