You Are What You Think

Taken by 22,765 people

There are millions of intelligent, sensitive, and creative people who struggle with self-regulating their thoughts. 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 you'll learn in this course:

  • The true nature of your brain's brilliance.
  • The CBT strategy of employing a metaphor for your brain and how to use it.
  • How dynamic self-regulation works and why it's so important.
  • What to do if you're smart, sensitive, and creative.
  • Top tactics for eliminating self-criticism, sadness, and anxiety.

What People Are Saying
“This has been a truly informative and helpful course. I've learned so much about myself and how to offset detrimental thought processes."
Bonita
"What a master psychologist and creativity maven Maisel is. He brings such insights into the dark world of people burdened with 'smartness' who cannot keep their minds from working."
Harbin
“I have had great success with this so far. I feel free of the regrets that have been on repeat in my mind for ages. I don't have the concept anymore of lost chances but more like, "what exciting things are around the corner?" Also, I don't feel like I have to achieve the things that were involved in my regrets in order to feel loved, feel myself, feel valued. I am getting grounded in my own human values. I am very grateful for this course. And I feel glad to be alive.”
