Books that rewire your brain

Ever read one of those books that stay with you forever?

Yeah, me too.

This month I had the priviledge of accepting a review request from Dr Thomas Jordan for his book Learn to Love: Guide to Healing Your Disappointing Love Life. 

This is not a s*x book, I'm not interested in those. What I am interested in, is books that enrich our relationships, and this is one such book.

My Review:

What I Loved:

In his writing, Dr Thomas Jordan helps the reader to clearly identify past hurts that need a positive spin. That's the basic premise. What follows is deeply researched information that pulls feelings out of our hurts and replaces them with improved thought processes and behaviours that we, ourselves, are responsible for. 

Yes, it's possible our hurts come from way back, but there comes a point when it is up to us to take responsibility and action for a better way of dealing with these emotions. POW! That is how you take your power back and redirect your own life on your terms, but none of this is done with vengeance, only with understanding and insight.

What I Didn't Love:

I wanted more! I felt that once our feelings had been extracted, understood and labeled, we were left hanging without the 'how to' of implementing the new, positive antidote to our emotions, albeit also clearly defined. We are guided to relearn new ways of feeling our emotions which was mighty helpful in itself, but - and perhaps this is just me - I wanted my hand to be held and led to the water, as it were. 

But I do understand that we are all unique with our own ways of processing information, so it truly is up to us to create new neural pathways to a better way of thinking, living and loving. I get it. I do.

Why I Would Recommend This Book:

It's basically a tracking device for human emotions. In a good way.

My Rating:

⭐⭐⭐⭐

I gave the book four stars based on my own need for wanting more from the book. I felt that the last chapter was a marketing ruse for their services, which disappointed me, but in another light, it was a follow-up for readers who, indeed, want to take the next step in their relationship.

Favourite Quotes:

...differences are easier to work with if I believe in and trust my natural ability to heal the unintentional hurts of love.

...to sustain healthy change, we are forever keeping the new, current - and the old, in the past.

I want to thank Dr Thomas Jordan for the opportunity of reading his book, I am grateful for the huge benefit it gave me, and I hope, you, as well.
