Change Your Mind Change Your Weight

A no-nonsense, unique approach to losing weight that starts with the premise that getting fit and healthy does require work, and that you must be willing to roll up your sleeves, accept that challenge.. Focuses on what has consistently been the missing link to lasting weight loss—the powerful role of the mind. The most critical key to losing weight and keeping it off lies in the way we think, and in what we tell ourselves when we mess up. One’s ability to switch to a positive state of mind in the face of setback determines who makes it to the finish line and who stays down and defeated. The good news is: rational optimism is a learned skill; not something you have to be born with. Reacting negatively to weight-loss setbacks leads to a state of psychological helplessness—a kind of mental inertia that leads to anxiety and depression and sabotages your efforts to lose weight. Learning to react to setbacks with rational optimism—remaining positive while maintaining a strong foothold in reality—lays the foundation for success. When you prove to yourself that setbacks are just temporary and surmountable,t they lose the power yo unravel you. There is something that you can do. Change Your Mind, Change Your Weight shows how.

Cutting-edge science and the ancient wisdom of Buddhism have come together to reveal that, contrary to popular belief, we have the power to literally change our brains by changing our minds. Recent pioneering experiments in neuroplasticity—the ability of the brain to change in response to experience—reveal that the brain is capable of altering its structure and function, and even of generating new neurons, a power we retain well into old age. The brain can adapt, heal, renew itself after trauma, compensate for disabilities, rewire itself to overcome dyslexia, and break cycles of depression and OCD. And as scientists are learning from studies performed on Buddhist monks, it is not only the outside world that can change the brain, so can the mind and, in particular, focused attention through the classic Buddhist practice of mindfulness. With her gift for making science accessible, meaningful, and compelling, science writer Sharon Begley illuminates a profound shift in our understanding of how the brain and the mind interact and takes us to the leading edge of a revolution in what it means to be human. Praise for Train Your Mind, Change Your Brain “There are two great things about this book. One is that it shows us how nothing about our brains is set in stone. The other is that it is written by Sharon Begley, one of the best science writers around. Begley is superb at framing the latest facts within the larger context of the field. This is a terrific book.”—Robert M. Sapolsky, author of Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers “Excellent . . . elegant and lucid prose . . . an open mind here will be rewarded.”—Discover “A strong dose of hope along with a strong does of science and Buddhist thought.”—The San Diego Union-Tribune
