If you want to change your life, 
you need to change your brain.
“Dr. Arden paved the way for brain-based therapy and what the brain can do. 
It’s refreshing, practical, and innovative.”
—Kit S. Ng, Ph.D., Director, Asia Institute of Professional Psychology, Singapore
“
Rewire Your Brain
translates fascinating developments in neuroscience into a 
powerful and practical guide to lasting change in our lives.”
—Liz Sheean, Editor, 
Psychotherapy in Australia
Once thought to be “hard-wired,” the brain is actually “soft-wired” by experience—mean-
ing it is possible to rewire parts of your brain to improve everything from your mood and 
your memory to your relationships, sleeping habits, and more. 
Rewire Your Brain
guides 
you through this breakthrough process, revealing how to minimize your anxiety and 
enhance your brain’s longevity in order to live a vibrant life free of self-imposed limitations. 
Written by Dr. John Arden, a leader in the fi eld of brain-based therapy, this accessible 
guide addresses the recent advances in neuroscience and explains exactly how to apply 
them to specifi c areas of your daily life. You’ll discover how to:
• Develop mental connections that promote good habits and shut off those that 
support bad habits
• Quiet your brain, conquer fear, and approach life courageously
• 
Become calm, energized, and focused by making new connections between 
your neurons
• Improve and expand your relationships
