Book Review - "Who Switched Off My Brain: Controlling toxic thoughts and emotions" by Dr. Caroline Leaf



Excellent book for understanding how thoughts can effect your body! Bravo to Dr. Leaf! This book explains "how research has shown that 87% of illnesses can be attributed to our thought life, and approximately 13% to diet, genetics and enviornment" (Leaf, 2008. p.5).


If our thoughtlife is responsible for our illnesses then that puts us in direct control of being healthier. This book explains in a very simple way how to reverse your aging and develop healthier THINKING in order to change the chemistry in your body in a positive way. This book is science and christianity on the same page.

The bible states:

---"Be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." [Romans 12:2]

---"As he thinks in his heart so is he." [Proverbs 23:7]

This book shows the link (on a practical level) between our thoughts and how it manifests into our bodies. If we cause 87% of our illnesses with our negative thinking, we can improve our health with positive thoughts and controlling the toxic thoughts that can enter into our minds! Leaf explains "Every thought has a corresponding electrochemical reaction in your brain" (Leaf, 2008, p.3). If this is true then it's very important what we are putting into our brains are GOOD THINGS. Excellent book that explains in SIMPLE language how we can change our thinking and improve our lives all the way around.

It's also a short read: There are only 6 chapters, they are as follows:

1. The Anatomy of a Thought

2. The Growth of a Thought

3. Thoughts Gone Wrong

4. A Toxic Pathway

5. Toxic Thoughts and Children

6. Detox Your Brain!

Excellent READ!
