Throughout life, we’ll find ourselves in a moment that can make or break the ideal future we have. It’s as simple as this:
Will I be respected and heard, or will I bury my truth?
In his new book Wizard Brain or Monkey Mind?, author Jim Halderman argues that it only takes one second to take control of your life. He posits that when you understand your brain, you can control your reactions to situations, your body communicates more effectively, and every interaction improves.
“You will learn how to have more powerful interactive outcomes within family, in conflict resolution, or in the grocery store line. You will learn how to control the emotion occurring in the “space” between impulse and response. This book is an insightful and accessible blend of communication theory and neuroscience,” said the author.
