I love this idea of creating new brain patterns. Of course this is more than just read a book and then your habits are all changed but it is so refreshing to have concrete strategies and an approach to trauma and neural pathways that is hopeful.
shewantsthediction's review against another edition
I would seriously consider avoiding this book if you're Black, as it could potentially be really triggering. Within the first 3 minutes, the author talks about how she teaches these same neurosculpting techniques to law enforcement officers because they suffer from hypervigilance, and then keeps bringing it up. I just had to laugh, because you know who seriously suffers from hypervigilance in this country? Black people. I don't think this author realizes how insensitive she comes off, and it's really alienating to read this as a POC, because it's just so clearly not meant for me.
Cop-loving aside, the audiobook was narrated by the author and I really disliked it. She had this odd habit of randomly pausing between words and didn't read smoothly like a professional audiobook narrator would. She also talked down to her readers, repeating and explaining things in overly simplistic ways that seemed condescending.
