Description
The Silent Guides explores some neuroscience and psychological aspects of the developing mind, unconscious thinking, behaviours, habit formation, and related topics in an easy-to-understand way. It offers practical ideas and thoughts for the reader to reflect on using 10 helpful habits as examples.
This book has two themes:
- To help adults consider and understand where some of their unhealthy or destructive learnt behaviours and beliefs might have originated, and then offer ways to replace them with healthy and constructive behaviours and beliefs.
- To offer ideas and support to parents, teachers, or carers that could help children form healthy and constructive habits, preventing unhealthy or destructive habits from developing.
Examples of unhelpful thinking, behaviours, and habits that can be changed include:
- Being overly self-critical
- Fear of failure and unforgiving perfectionism
- Worrying excessively or overreacting to situations
- Procrastinating
- Living with low self-esteem
Examples of helpful thinking, behaviours, and habits include:
- Smiling
- Getting over mistakes
- Developing a positive outlook
- Being able to talk through your feelings
- Seeking appropriate help
- Being proactive
Written as a companion to My Hidden Chimp, these two interconnected books tackle how we can best manage our mind from childhood into adulthood.
Professor Steve Peters explains neuroscience in a straightforward and intuitive way, offering up 10 simple habits that we as adults and children should have in our arsenal to deal with everyday life. These 10 habits should and can be retained for life.
