The bestselling author of Undoing Depression offers a brain-based guide to
permanently ending bad habits
Richard O'Connor's bestselling book Undoing Depression has become a touchstone
in the field, helping thousands of therapists and patients overcome depressive
patterns. In Rewire, O'Connor expands those ideas, showing how we actually have
two brains?a conscious deliberate self and an automatic self that makes most of
our decisions?and how we can train the latter to ignore distractions, withstand
temptations, and interrupt reflexive, self-sabotaging responses. Rewire gives
readers a road?map to overcoming the most common self-destructive habits,
including procrastination, excessive worrying, internet addiction, overeating,
risk-taking, and self-medication, among others.
