Book Review: The Perfect You

From the Back:

There's only one you!
When God created the blueprint for the universe, you were already part of the plan. Science and Scripture show you're a unique, brilliantly designed, and intelligent individual who fills a role no one else can. So the more Perfect You you become, the more fulfilling and impactful your life will be.

What is the Perfect You? It's how you process and exhibit your uniqueness through the way you think, feel, and choose. Everything you do and experience has an impact on the world, which is why it is vital for you to understand

· what your Perfect You is
· when you are stepping out of your Perfect You
· the mental, physical, and spiritual implications of stepping out of your Perfect You
· and how to stay in your Perfect You

In this book, Dr. Caroline Leaf tackles this concept from theological, philosophical, and scientific angles, challenging you to think deeply about your identity and enabling you to apply these insights to your daily life. Drawn from thirty years of original research and twenty-five years of clinical experience, The Perfect You includes groundbreaking new insights and an eye-opening questionnaire designed to help you understand your Perfect You.

Are you tired of living in a suffocating box of expectations? The Perfect You will help you realize there was never a box to begin with!
My Reflections:
Ever have a book cross your path exactly when you need it, Yes this one was it. 
I love how God works! 
In "The Perfect You" you will find a harmonious blend of science and faith. 
Dr leaf invites her readers on a journey of self-discovery. 
Who has God created you to be when he knit you together in your mother's womb?

I have been a follower of Dr. Caroline Leaf since I read her book "Switch on Your Brain"
Dr. Leaf's expertise in brain science shines throughout this book. Leaf clearly lays out the brain's function, the philosophy and the science behind the unique ways we function. She weaves in how God created us each uniquely and perfectly formed. How we think is directly linked to how we feel, which often times is warped and just plain wrong. The deceiver wants to shatter our joy. God has the perfect plan for our lives. He already knows. Quote from the book:

"The Perfect you is how you uniquely and specifically feel, and how you uniquely and specifically choose. Our thinking is designed to reflect his image since we have the mind of Christ"

This is a very heavy book, don't expect to sit down read it over and have it all sorted in one go. Caroline Leaf has been studying the human brain for the entirety of her career.
There is a lot of information to get through in this book, but your effort is absolutely worth every minute. I love to unravel human nature, why we think certain ways and the outcomes of negative and positive habits. I find this stuff insanely intriguing!

Book Review: Switch On Your Brain Every Day

From The Back:

A happier, healthier, more enjoyable life--starting today! What we think about affects us both physically and emotionally. According to researchers, the vast majority of the illnesses that plague us today are a direct result of a toxic thought life.

In her bestselling book Switch On Your Brain, Dr. Caroline Leaf offered a prescription for better health and wholeness through correct thinking patterns. Now she shows you how to instill the practices for living a healthy, happy life into your daily routine. These readings offer encouragement and strategies to reap the benefits of a detoxed thought life--every day!

Are you ready to experience maximum happiness and health? Then switch on your brain!
My Reflections:
January to March are usually the months where people start to think about changing their lives whether it be more exercise or a total revamp on one's life patterns. I reviewed this book "Switch On Your Brain Every Day" because one, I absolutely love this authour, and two, I'm in the stage of life where I need to revamp and switch to a few healthier habits.

Before delving deeply into this book I read the introduction, titled "How To Get The Most Out Of These Readings" This was extremely helpful material, and I would highly recommend you start here as well. If you haven't read Switch On Your Brain, I would go out and get that book first, as that teaching is the fundamental structure of this book. It is not absolutely necessary, however, it is one of my all time favourites and I highly recommend it! This introduction will give you insight into the daily readings making your journey that much more impactful!

Each daily reading opens with a scripture verse that correlates with the daily topic of discussion. This is followed by a daily brainy tip. following these is a thought-provoking message, guiding readers to think deeply and grow in your daily walk. You are encouraged to journal and really walk out the teachings. I really enjoyed the many scriptures and God's message to us all about how he created our mind, body and spirit to work in unison.

I highly recommend this book along with "Switch On Your Brain" Life is a never-ending journey filled with growth and ups and downs, focusing on scripture and God's design for our lives is one of the best ways to maneuver through the maze and hills we call our lives.
I absolutely loved learning about the many deep and complex subject matters. I was especially interested in learning about neuroplasticity, neurophysics, toxic thought patterns and the connections between mental/ physical health faith and healing. 

Seriously go get this book, it is a game changer!
