Publisher Description
Have you ever wished you could reprogram your brain, just as a hacker would a computer? In this 3-step guide packed with mind hacking techniques, learn how to take charge of your mind and start reprogramming thought patterns to banish negative thoughts, habits, and anxiety—in just a 21-day mental transformation!
A seasoned author, comedian, and entrepreneur, Sir John Hargrave once struggled with unhealthy addictions, anxiety, and poor mental health. After cracking the code to unlocking his mind’s full and balanced potential, his entire life changed for the better. In Mind Hacking, Hargrave reveals the formula that helped him overcome negative thinking and eliminate mental problems at their core through neuroscience-based self-help.
Through a 21-day, 3-step training program, this book delivers a simple yet powerful approach grounded in cognitive behavioral strategies and self-improvement exercises, all aimed at building positive habits and enhancing mental clarity and focus. It relies on repetitive steps—analyzing, imagining, and reprogramming—to break through the barriers that prevent you from reaching your potential.
By treating your brain as a computer and applying Hargrave’s mind hacking formula, you’ll design your own personal development plan and create a lasting, positive shift in thinking that opens doors to both personal and professional success.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Hargrave, CEO of the marketing firm Media Shower, instructs readers on achieving goals and breaking negative thought patterns by hacking the brain like a computer. Inspired by the experience of reprogramming his mind to achieve sobriety, Hargrave sets out methods that include careful observation of the mind's workings, "Jedi training" for improved concentration, and isolating and retooling loops of negative thinking. A thought experiment encourages readers to imagine their ideal lives, and Hargrave gives examples of positive thought loops that may nudge the ideal into reality. Various "mind hacks" help this process along, such as writing down ideas and goals, harnessing the power of repetition, running mental simulations, and carrying out collaborations along the lines of Wikipedia's open-source editing. The book's final section centers on action, discussing how small, easily reached subgoals can add up to greater achievements. Hargrave also incorporates techniques employed by such diverse success stories as Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs, Ben Franklin, and the Pete Carroll led Seattle Seahawks. While most of Hargrave's ideas are not entirely new, his use of computer-related terms should resonate with tech-savvy readers, including those resistant to typical self-help fare.
