Master Your Mind: The More You Think, The Easier It Gets
Master Your Mind is one of the most inspiring and entertaining self-improvement books that has come along in quite some time. D.E. Boyer takes us on a fascinating journey from the depths of despair to an amazing quantum world where anything is possible. First, we will learn how to defend ourselves against the chaos in our minds, then we will learn how to rekindle the magic in our hearts.
Along the way, the wisdom of Socrates and the myth of Narcissus will transform the way we think and feel. Boyer then shows us how the military teaches their Navy Seal recruits how to handle their thoughts and feelings when someone is trying to kill them, so we can better handle our bosses, spouses, and children when it feels like they are trying to kill us. We will also get a glimpse of death through the eyes of someone who sees people die every day, giving us a much greater appreciation for life.
With extremely amusing stories from her own life that touch on her dysfunctional upbringing and traumatizing career as an intensive care nurse, Boyer teaches us how to control our anxiety, boost our fragile self-esteem, and get into a state of flow so that we can spend most of our time loving life, rather than dreading it. She also gives us crucial health and nutrition tips so that we can live longer with our newfound peace and joy, and she shows us how to be more successful at life by being a better friend, spouse, and parent.
With every step we take on this path, we'll find ourselves flirting with the hidden power of the mind, a power that often lies just beyond most people's reach. Only by mastering the basics of thinking and feeling can we gain access to this power. Once the door is unlocked, we will enter another dimension, a quantum world where time is irrelevant and the magic of our mind is waiting to be found.

"Alone time should be sought out, cherished, and cultivated, not wasted or avoided like the plague."
Inače nisam za knjige ovakvoga tipa, ali nešto (...maglina?) me očito ponukalo da preuzmem sample (...da, kupio sam si Kindle!), a potom i ostatak knjige. :) Knjiga je - moglo bi se reći - sadržajno bogata, nudi ponešto za svakoga; od suočavanja sa strahovima do važnosti njegovanja kreativnosti. Autorica se poziva na brojna/e djela/autore i vidi se da je jako dobro informirana. Well done.

After a few chapters I decided that I didn't need this book, that I was good to go, despite having been on an antidepresive for a long time now. But the deeper I got, the better the book got, and I realized that everyone can use a mental tune up at some point, and that a lot of people must be in deep shit most of the time and don't/can't confront their problems. Its easy to be proud of a mental abberation that seems to set you apart from the rest of the human zoo, when in reality you'd be a lot happier if it was erased and you became a closer knit member of the tribe. This book could easily point that out. After a complete read through it will also make a good browsing book. Its a light read on a subject that could be very dark and scary indeed.

A good read.
I downloaded a sample of this book and had to buy the entire thing. I think some people might be able to relate well with it and others might not. For me, I agreed to a lot of her writing, some of it sounded like I could have written it. You can tell the author did her research and gave just enough information for me to necessitate downloading some of the books she mentioned, some readers may feel they already know the contents of this book but I say read it anyway, over all its a good reminder to continue positive self talk and trudge your own path through life, I agree the topics in this book work, I mean they worked for the author didn't they.

The main theme of this book is to keep positive, and believe in the unlimited possibility on how the change of your mind can change you physically. It discusses the suggestions on how to stay positive and improve the mind from various aspects, from high level strategies to concrete aspects such as relationship, communication, humor, creativity, self-esteem, parenting, work, brain, vision quest, and so on.

Amazing insight
This was a good and honest look at the authors self reflection , she did the research and displayed valid points and references along the way. I recommend this for any ones tool box of self reflection.

Will read this book many times.
The brain is definitely much more powerful than we have been told since childhood. We use 10% of our brain? I don't think so. Thank you for the positive reinforcement; Ms. Boyer.

An informative very beneficial book. Patience is required to begin with; but once you get into it you can't stop reading as the puzzle pieces fit together. To learn that you can control your mind rather than the mind controlling you is priceless. once you practice and achieve that, you can go to sleep by mental demand. Thank you D.E, Boyer; can't wait for your next book.
