Sobre este título
Why'd I do that? He’s such a jerk! I’m such an idiot! What did she mean by that comment? Ideally, our thought spirals help us process difficult situations and emotions. When they become repetitive, however, they can be highly problematic: your brain is ruminating. And science has shown the degree to which we ruminate, perhaps more than any other mental act, determines our life-long well-being.
In Mind Drama, veteran science writer Donna Jackson Nakazawa gets inside the strange magnetism of rumination, explains why we're all doing it now more than ever, and shares the new science for decoding, outwitting, and repurposing this dark mental habit. Using her own ruminative mind as a test case, she walks us through the actionable neuro-hacks that can help us escape unhealthy brooding, like:
- A checklist of questions to pinpoint how your own brain works; this is how to begin to train it in a new direction.
- How to crack your personal rumination code by assigning names to the images, emotions, and sensations that accompany your downward spirals. Personalizing language this way becomes your portal to escape.
- Why your patterns of rumination have something profound to tell you: they are signal fires from your past; once you understand the messages they’re sending you, you can use that insight to begin to heal.
- How to use ballistic interruptions—words with emotional power—to exit your ruminating thoughts and rewire your mind.
- Why you overthink about relationships, with actionable tools to circumvent that negative thinking and find emotional freedom.
- How to reverse engineer your ruminative thoughts and spiral up: How to cultivate an "opposite feeling,” and “let fear be your friend” to gain perspective.
A deeply helpful roadmap to the anatomy of self-criticism and unproductive worry, Mind Drama shows us that with practice we can tame our thoughts and repurpose our ruminative tendencies to access our mind’s higher potential for creativity, ingenuity, and insight.
Resumo da Crítica
“Deeply personal and scientifically grounded, Mind Drama explores why we ruminate and—most importantly—how to stop ruminating. If you’ve ever wondered why your mind sometimes gets the best of you, and you are hungry for science-based tools to stop overthinking, this book is for you.”—Ethan Kross, bestselling author of Shift and Chatter
“Donna Jackson Nakazawa not only brilliantly illuminates the brain-based underpinnings of our inner defeatist, but also offers compelling, science-grounded strategies for easing the suffering it creates. Written with rare clarity and compassion, this book reveals how deeply ingrained patterns of despair can be transformed through understanding, agency, and care. This is a true masterpiece—a beacon of hope in an age marked by uncertainty, fragmentation, and overwhelm. By seamlessly uniting mind and heart, Jackson Nakazawa leads us out of desperation and anguish toward resilience, meaning, and lasting transformation.”—Ruth A. Lanius, MD, PhD
“I cannot overemphasize the value, the pure relief, I found in Mind Drama. With clarity and compassion, science journalist Donna Jackson Nakazawa explains why we ruminate now more than ever, how it undermines our well-being, and how to transform its defeatism into something productive and, ultimately, liberating. A fascinating read as well as supremely helpful, this is a rare book I will return to again and again.”—Peggy Orenstein, New York Times bestselling author of Girls and Sex and Boys and Sex
“Ruminations can dominate our internal mental landscape, overwhelming how we experience our sense of well-being and our capacity for relational connections. This magnificent book offers both cutting-edge scientific insights and practical suggestions for understanding and reducing how these incessant preoccupations so frequently dominate our lives and block our sense of everyday joy. By exploring the nature of these cognitions and how they directly mold our emotional life in both constricting and chaotic ways, Donna Jackson Nakazawa offers both personal reflections and captivating stories that invite us to dive into our own mental sea, learning how to bring more calm and clarity into what may have been a stormy way of living. These are neuroscience rich and immediately useful practices that anyone can master. Bravo, for such a powerful and practical plan of action to not only learn to ride and calm our wild waves of worry, but to bring a deep sense of clarity and connection into our waiting lives.”—Daniel J. Siegel MD, New York Times bestselling author of Mind, Mindsight, and Aware
