What if it were possible for you to make structural changes to your own brain so it's healthier and less prone to depression, anxiety, grief, worry, and other issues that make you unhappy and keep you stuck?

In this neuroscience-based, faith-infused, and immensely practical guide, Dr. W. Lee Warren, a practicing neurosurgeon, trauma survivor, and award-winning writer, reveals how to take control of your own mental, emotional, and physical healing by reordering your mind to change your brain-resulting in a radically transformed life that is healthier, happier, and more hopeful.

Since the development of functional brain imaging in the early 2000's, we now know that thoughts can direct structural changes in the brain as or more effectively than medicines or surgery and can do so more quickly. That means, whether we know it or not, we're all brain surgeons.

The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery will help you:

• learn and master several types of "self-brain surgery" operations to move from floundering to flourishing
• heal from trauma, tragedy, and other types of hardship
• overcome anxiety, depression, loneliness and other emotional and mental health struggles
• conquer limiting or negative thinking
• break old habits and create new ones
• build resilience and wellbeing
• become an empowered, hopeful person no matter what you're facing With the skill of a surgeon, the wounds of a trauma-survivor, the lessons of a scientist, and a hard-won faith that we are wired for happiness here on earth and not just in the hereafter, Dr. Warren walks readers into nothing less than a new way of life.
