You don't need a wake-up call to know that you need to change. The signs are right there in front of you: stress, fear, procrastination, self-doubt, and self-sabotage. But now you can do something about it. You can awaken your Strongest Self, rebuild your confidence, and unlock your true potential . . . in only four steps.

Dr. Neil Fiore's revolutionary program makes it surprisingly easy to change your life, one small step at a time. He's already helped thousands of people with his gentle approach to awakening the mind. Using the latest discoveries of neuroscience, he's developed an effective technique that actually retrains the brain to "turn off" negative thoughts. By teaching your brain to respond differently to everyday things, you can overcome self-destructive habits, reduce dangerous levels of stress, and increase productivity and creativity. It's all part of a gradual but rewarding process--the full awakening of the Strongest Self you were meant to be.

. .

Discover how you can:

.
    .
  1. Break free of old, ineffective patterns.
  2. Step up to your "new brain" and voice.
  3. Awaken the five qualities of your Strongest Self.
  4. Put everything together to achieve your goals.
. .

With each passing day, you'll feel stronger, more confident, and even downright joyful. Feelings of uncertainty, loneliness, and being overwhelmed will no longer have power over you. Instead, you'll be using the highest, most advanced part of your brain to take charge of your thoughts--and live the life you so richly deserve. This remarkable book gives you all the tools you need, including a special progress journal, a centering exercise, a stress quiz, self-talk suggestions, a chart for effective habit change, and personal posttests. It also features inspiring true stories of people just like you, people who kicked the habits that held them down and who turned their lives around. If they can do it, so can you.

. .

Product Reviews:
  An Amazing Book & Concept 
This book is a breakthrough concept. Instead of fighting against yourself or your thoughts you learn to really acknowledge and appreciate every single part of you and learn to live from a whole new paradigm of a higher stronger self rather than a smaller part of you. I found this to be so much easier than cognative therapy or even "the work" questions because you actually acknowledge your thoughts and feelings with empathy and you still make a higher choice taking all your parts into consideration first. This works well in interacting with others as well and is a very loving way to be, in my opinion. Contingency plans for failure built into your goals is also amazing, because who hasn't jumped off the bandwangon on a new goal and beat themselves up for it. Overall I found this book well written and worth every word.
  Awaken Your Strongest Self, by Dr. Neil Fiore 
There are a few books one has which become more than books. This is one of them. It is my companion, my reference, and reading I refer to for review when I can't remmember passages I know will inspire. I have had the good fortune of being a client, and after a long hard search for someone whose works inspire, who "walks his talk". I have had the good fortune of embarking on the guided process of learning myself to "walk my talk" too with his writings and able guidance as talisman. Few authors share so close to the core the deeply felt and hard won wisdom that comes from reflection AND experience. His works are trustworthy companions through life's challenging adventures of the spirit.
  Life Changing Experience ( sweetday )
This is a fantastic book that has provided me with some vital tools for altering my life in almost every facet for the better. The key in reading this book is to take away the nuggets of wisdom and apply them to your own life. Dr. Fiore provides some easily-accessibly techniques that a reader can use to identify and overcome the fears and hesitancies that have been holding him or her back. As the book explains, the origins of those psychological obstacles that prevent us from making the best decisions in our lives usually lie in experiences buried in our pasts. Unfortunately we tend to let our past experiences control our present actions, even when we realize that may not be the best course of action. This book can shows how you can get out of this quandry. Whether you want to break away from the detrimental influences of your past and start a new chapter of your life, or if you just want to improve some aspect of your behavior (and I would say almost every human being has something that he or she should look to improve on), this book has much to offer.
  A Great Way to Get to Know Your Strongest Self 
Awaken Your Strongest Self: Break Free of Stress, Inner Conflict
and Self-Sabotage
(McGraw-Hill; November 2006; $21.95, 0071470263
Author: Neil Fiore


Neil Fiore has written a masterful book on self-empowerment. He invokes the latest neuroscience to point out that the destructive habits that limit our creativity and productivity arise from the primitive drives and fears of the lower brain mechanisms. To break free of these limiting patterns, Fiore suggests that we make use of the "new human brain" located in the prefrontal cortex.

The primary strategy presented in Awaken Your Strongest Self is to shift gradually from a limited sense of self, shaped by outdated beliefs and coping dynamics of the primitive brain to one's "Strongest Self." Fiore outlines five negative patterns that can be reduced or resolved through the Strongest Self program: Stress and fear, inner conflict and procrastination, overwhelm and confusion, self-criticism and self-blame, and struggle and loneliness.

The author includes many practical, highly effective tools to help the reader in this quest within a four stage model: Making Up Your Mind, Committing to Change, Taking Action, and Maintaining Long-Term Success. Chapters follow that teach readers how to engage their strongest selves. For example, the book suggests imagining that five years have passed and feeling the pain of staying the same as part of the decision to change; rating the strength of intentions and motivations as part of the commitment stage; catching yourself doing something right during the action stage, and emphasizes ways of overcoming setbacks as part of ensuring long-term accomplishment.

Particularly helpful are the chapters on how to awaken specific qualities of the strongest self. I especially liked the focus exercises "Create A Psychological Safety Net to Stop Unnecessary Stress," the "Now I'm Aware of..." exercise, "One Rapid, Focused Breath" and the use of mission statements to move progress along.

Any reader interested in permanent self-change will benefit from this well-conceived book. Don't miss out on this one!
  I think I love this book ( truthfiend )
Yes, the book description and the customer reviews sound like they came straight from an infomercial. Yes, of course you've read more self-help books than you can count, and they didn't really help because a lot of the stuff in them didn't apply to you. Yes, this is a hardcover book and yes, I too prefer paperbacks. Now buy this book. You'll be doing yourself a favor. Then buy it again when it comes out on trade paperback, because it really is that good! Many thanks to Dr. Fiore for writing the last self-help book I'm ever gonna read. And also my apologies for not reading The Now Habit first.
