Reclaim Your Brain

A practical, science-backed guide to harnessing your brain’s capacity for change and building a healthier, more resilient and meaningful life. Dr Mark Williams has spent his career as a cognitive neuroscientist exploring how our brains shape the way we think, feel and live – and how we can harness their remarkable capacity for change. After a childhood marked by violence and a youth marred by substance use, Mark had every reason to believe that our past determines our future. Neuroscience taught him otherwise. Our brains are constantly adapting to the world around us, which means that wherever we start, we have the capacity to change. Drawing on decades of research, deeply personal experience and inspiring stories from scientists, leaders and ordinary people, Reclaim Your Brain is a practical framework for strengthening the brain and building the inner resources we need to meet whatever life throws at us.
