The Liberated Mind

You are not broken, you’ve been programmed. And you have the power to reprogram everything.

The Liberated Mind is a powerful, practical guide to breaking free from the subconscious patterns, emotional loops, and limiting beliefs that have silently shaped your life. Through a blend of neuroscience, psychology, lived experience, and spiritual insight, C. Michael Pickens invites you on a journey of radical self-ownership, where awareness becomes your compass and intention becomes your engine.

This book doesn’t just give you information. It gives you tools: to heal past conditioning, reclaim your focus, and create an inner environment aligned with clarity, confidence, and freedom.

Inside, you’ll learn:

How your subconscious programming formed, and how to improve it

The “Bucket and Hose” model for understanding subconscious overflow

Why attention is your most valuable currency

How to consciously redirect your thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors

The science behind optimism, emotional intelligence, and mindset mastery

How to protect your inner fire from the ashes of your past

Tools to transform fear into focus and setbacks into growth

Whether you’re starting your healing journey or seeking the next level of growth, The Liberated Mind will meet you where you are and help you rise beyond it. This is not motivation. This is transformation. One conscious thought at a time.

If you’re ready to stop reacting and start creating, this book is your blueprint.
