The ReWired Brain
Free Yourself of Negative Behaviors and Release Your Best Self
About
What if unleashing the power of your mind could help you live your best life?
"The creative and brilliantly wired mind of scientist and author Dr. Ski Chilton again boldly explores human behavior potential in his insightful latest book, The ReWired Brain--a provocative mental journey."--Charles (Cash) McCall, MD, professor of translational science and molecular medicine, Wake Forest University School of Medicine
"Change--honest, God-honoring change--is difficult! It seems at times the Christian community oscillates between two extremes: religious denial or the insanity of just trying harder to be better. The ReWired Brain instead gives hope and practical insights into how we can get 'unstuck' in life. Having spent over thirty years counseling, I would strongly recommend this creative contribution to the battle for wholeness and holiness."--Dr. Ted Roberts, bestselling author, pastor, and certified sexual addiction counselor
Trade negative thinking for confident, fearless living
Most of us don't realize we have a surprising amount of control over our own thoughts and behaviors. While unconscious feelings and reactions from our past can unintentionally influence our behaviors negatively, there's good news. We have a great capacity to call upon the parts of our brain responsible for intentional choices in order to end destructive cycles, live well, and become our best selves.
The ReWired Brain offers you a clear framework for understanding your brain and the decisions you make. It shows how certain fears and instincts can drive unhealthy emotional dysfunctions and related behavioral patterns in the most meaningful areas of your life. Most importantly, it shows how to reframe your negative experiences, overcome your fears, experience emotional and spiritual healing, and ultimately rewire your brain, empowering you to be free and to live fearlessly.

"Change--honest, God-honoring change--is difficult! It seems at times the Christian community oscillates between two extremes: religious denial or the insanity of just trying harder to be better. The ReWired Brain instead gives hope and practical insights into how we can get 'unstuck' in life. Using engaging insights from Scripture, neuroscience, and the author's personal struggles, the reader is drawn into the great adventure of becoming like Christ. The book is a rich tapestry of fascinating analogies from contemporary literature, film, and current events that assist the reader in understanding the dynamics of renewing your mind through 'rewiring.' Having spent over thirty years counseling pastors and Christian leaders who were seriously trapped in life, I would strongly recommend this creative contribution to the battle for wholeness and holiness."

"Chilton uses science, honesty, and humor to explain why humans often act contrary to our best interests. He identifies how we can voluntarily rewire our brains to keep our baser instincts in check and create better blueprints for ourselves."
Angus Morrison, author of Wavelength
