Have you ever thought about how our brain has endless possibilities for changing our lives? Sometimes we feel stuck, and an inner voice keeps screaming for a change.

Human beings have the power to heal and transform their lives. All we need is some brain rewiring and a positive mindset.

Our brain is simple. Whatever information we feed into our brain, it constantly rewires itself to fit into that situation. It can’t differentiate reality or illusion.

If you are in the same phase of life where you think some reprogramming is needed, I would highly recommend these four excellent books that teach how to do brain rewiring.

How To Do The Work by Dr. Nicole LePera

This book by Dr. Nicole LePera, a clinical psychologist, takes you on a journey of healing your body, mind, and soul. This is the best thing I like about this book, as LePera talks about psychological methods to heal and reprogram life based on her own experience while healing.

When her health started to degrade, she got a wake-up call to heal herself, resulting in this book. It consists of eight extracts. Each talks about different issues like mental health, physical health, holistic psychology, childhood trauma, reducing stress, reprogramming your core belief, healthy relationships, breaking free from destructive behavioral patterns, and much more.

Dr. LePera has wonderfully crafted this book about self-healing as she went through this process. I was amazed by the depth of her observations and how realistic the suggestions were to reprogram yourself.

Give it a read if you are more like a logic-behind-everything person and want to dive deep into brain rewiring.

I immediately wanted to respond to this concept of affecting the brain with reading material. I have always read literature that reveals human nature. But I read Heidegger's Being and Time, and it altered the course of my reading habits. I was much…

It says things like “Everyone thinks you’re a fool”, “Everybody’s doing great except you” — and more disturbing thoughts like that.
