Summary of Richard O'Connor, PhD's Rewire

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 There are many self-destructive habits that we’re not even aware of. These include driving carelessly, being thoughtless, not listening, and neglecting our health.

#2 The trick in overcoming self-destructive behavior is not to strengthen the conscious self so that you can control yourself better, but to train the automatic self to make wiser decisions unconsciously. Meanwhile, the conscious self has its work cut out in helping you get to know yourself better.

#3 The plastic brain is the idea that our brains change and grow physically in response to life experience. New brain cells are constantly being formed, and new networks between cells keep growing as we learn new things.

#4 We may be unaware of these patterns, but our friends and loved ones can see them at work because distance gives them objectivity. Social conventions prohibit us from telling others about them, and we probably wouldn’t listen anyway.
