Everyone has habits, addictions or behaviours that they would like to be rid of in their lives. Dr. Richard O’Connor’s book, ‘Rewire: Change Your Brain,’ contains motivating instruction on how to mend our lives by altering conduct that diminishes our joy and self-esteem. O’Connor illustrates why bad habit impulses are difficult to quash or cease. ‘Rewire’ is a remarkable ‘how-to book’ on reconditioning ourselves by eliminating self-damaging tendencies, such as perpetual worrying, procrastination, chronic disorganization, Internet addiction, overeating, risk-taking, self-medication and passive aggression. This is an authoritative and potent guide to terminating bad habits for good!
