About the author

Don Joseph Goewey managed the department of psychiatry at Stanford Medical School, ran a regional emergency medical services system, and for twelve years headed an internationally recognized institute that pioneered an approach to catastrophic life events. He has worked with some of the most stressful situations on earth-with people facing terminal illness, parents struggling with the loss of a child, prisoners adjusting to a life sentence, and refugees of the genocidal war in Bosnia struggling with extreme post-traumatic stress.He spent six years directing a think tank aimed at integrating breakthroughs in neuroscience and psychology. From this work, he innovated a model for changing brain structure to extinguish stress reactions and amplify the higher brain function that enables a human being to flourish. The success of the model in helping people end stress in high-pressure workplaces like Cisco Systems and Wells Fargo has been unprecedented.

Summary

What would you give to live a stress-free life, be in control of your runaway thoughts, and find peace in any situation? In Mystic Cool, Don Goewey presents a fascinating, useful manual for dealing with stress and finding the calm in the storm of life. Neuroplasticity is an emerging field in neuroscience which states that the mind has the power to chance the structure of the brain. Science shows that our positive thoughts can re-wire the established physical pathways. Stress, Goewey explains, is how our minds manifest our fears of the past, the future, or many other uncontrollable and unchangeable things. Fear and stress lie at the root of physical disease, emotional trauma, and breakdowns in relationships. And there is no greater gain in quality of life, health, and well-being than the psychological shift from fear to peace.
