About the Book


Why is it so hard to maintain healthful habits? This program explains successful processes to initiate and maintain change from a neuroscience perspective. Specifically, the program examines five key brain challenges that underlie many of the most effective cognitive, behavioral and pharmacological strategies for changing health behaviors and maintaining healthful practices. The neuroscience is presented simply and focused on the practical. Each brain challenge is followed by exercises to target brain processes, encouraging health professionals or patients to change these processes. This text updated in 2024, serves as a guide to learn how and why active participation is needed to produce meaningful change.

The program focuses on mastering five key brain challenges:

  1. Learning to highly value behaviors that promote wellness while devaluing behaviors that lead to poor health.
  2. Enriching one's life to tame the need for immediate gratification.
  3. Enhancing resiliency to threats and chronic stressors.
  4. Training one's addiction circuits that respond to drugs as well as "comfort foods" to make healthful behaviors habitual.
  5. Making flexible decisions to empower the prefrontal cortex to make healthful choices.

Participants completing the program should be able to:
  1. Identify how the brain weighs options when making health-related decisions.
  2. Discuss how opportunities for reward get overvalued.
  3. List social factors that can overvalue habits and sabotage our health.
