A breakthrough, drug-free approach to stress and stress-related
illnesses--from anxiety and depression to ADHD and chronic pain--using
simple attention exercises with powerful results on physical and mental
health
This breakthrough book presents a disarmingly simple idea: The way we
pay attention in daily life can play a critical role in our health and
well-being. According to Dr. Les Fehmi, a clinical psychologist and
researcher, many of us have become stuck in narrow-focus attention: a
tense, constricted, survival mode of attention that holds us in a state
of chronic stress--and which lies at the root of common ailments
including anxiety, depression, ADD, stress-related migraines, and more.
To improve these conditions, Dr. Fehmi explains that we must learn to
return to a relaxed, diffuse, and creative form of attention, which he
calls Open Focus.
This highly readable and empowering book offers straightforward
explanations and simple exercises on how to shift into a more calm, open
style of attention that reduces stress, improves health, and enhances
performance. The Open-Focus Brain features eight essential attention
exercises for improving health.
Dr. Fehmi writes, Everyone has the ability to heal their nervous
systems, to dissolve their pain, to slow down and yet accomplish more,
to experience the deeper side of life--in short, to change their lives
for the better dramatically. At last readers can learn the techniques
that Dr. Fehmi has offered to thousands of clients--the same drug-free,
safe, and effective techniques that have led to remarkable and
long-lasting results.
