By Dr. Neil Nedley, MD
Would you like to begin a series of life enhancements that lead to a truly happy way of life? The Lost Art of Thinking is a unique tool that you can use to improve mental performance, emotional intelligence, and life satisfaction in a practical and all-inclusive way.
Develop a high ability to think through complex situations, analyze information accurately, and make correct decisions habitually.
Improve your relationships and enjoy a healthy zest for life.
As in all of his books and programs, Dr. Nedley takes a comprehensive approach: rather than treating a cluster of symptoms, his aim is to improve the entire being. The material in this book began its formation in Dr. Nedley’s Depression Recovery program. Many of the participants exclaimed at the enhancement in mental acuity, emotional depth, and other mental abilities. Some of the friends and family of those who participated in the full recovery program decided to go through the program themselves, even though they were not experiencing depression. Many of these experienced the same improvements in many areas of mental ability.
Most of us could function at a far higher level than we do, if only we knew how. Here, Dr. Nedley gives you the how-to tools. Significant changes can occur in as little as 5 days, but even greater improvements will continue month my month until a high plateau is reached six months to a year after the strategies described in this book are put into habitual practice.
This material is extremely useful for the prevention and slowing of age-related mental decline, as well.
