America's foremost creativity coach Dr. Eric Maisel has helped these types of individuals for over 30 years navigate the one challenge that they have power over: getting a grip on their mind. Philosophers from Marcus Aurelius to the Buddha have proclaimed this to be one of our essential human tasks and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is the modern way this age-old message is delivered. Unleash Your Brain's True Brilliance In this enlightening course, Dr. Maisel teaches you a brand-new way to take control of your thoughts by learning how to employ a powerful metaphor that captures the essence of how your mind works. As a result, you can begin to effectively deal with sadness, anxiety, self-criticism, blockage, and all the other challenges you regularly face. Designed for smart, sensitive, and creative individuals, this way of looking at the mind will help you live a less stressful, less claustrophobic, more creative, and all-around improved life. The central message of Buddhism and CBT are true: you are what you think. What is included in this course: - The true nature of your brain's brilliance. - How dynamic self-regulation works and why it's so important. - Top tactics for eliminating self-criticism, sadness, and anxiety. - The CBT strategy of employing a metaphor for your brain and how to use it. - What to do if you're smart, sensitive, and creative.

Eric: Each of us tells ourselves a story about life all the time. Generally speaking, that story is rather negative and sometimes downright despairing. Millions of people have decided — just out of conscious awareness and where they can't quite hear it — that life is a cheat, that they have failed themselves, and that they and their efforts don't matter much. Since this is what they think, this then also becomes what they feel and how they act. Thinking "life is scary" naturally leads to anxiety, thinking "I don't matter" can naturally lead to depression, and continual thoughts like "I'm completely overwhelmed" can eventually lead to addiction. The thought is handmaiden to your moods and behaviors. DailyOM: In your course, you write that we are kidnapping neurons and wearing ourselves out when we engage in negative self-talk. Tell us about this. Eric: Our brain is made up of a large number of neurons, on the order of several billions. That sounds like an enormous number, but we have to remember that it takes millions of neurons, often hundreds of millions of neurons, to have a thought. Thinking means giving neurons over to particular thoughts. If you are using your neurons on thoughts like "I hate life" or "Why didn't I give him a piece of my mind?" or "the yard needs weeding," then you have hundreds of millions fewer neurons available to solve your problems, create your symphony, or think pleasurable or soothing thoughts. If we are employing neurons one way then they aren't available to be employed another way. The main way we honor the creative process is by getting quiet — that is, silencing all those thoughts that are using neurons — so that all of our neurons are available to bubble up creative ideas.
