Are you single and sick of it, and are you ready to flip the switch in your life and start playing for team love? Take a 10-step journey to help refire and rewire the neural pathways in your brain related to love. This book blends creative processes with fascinating neuroscience and shows you how to change your relationship destiny and become a lifelong, card-carrying member of Team Love. The steps are designed with one goal in mind—to bring true love into your life; the kind that stands the test of time and lasts forever. How exactly? Unsingle begins by debunking the myth that there is a random love god out there bestowing favors on a lucky few. You’ll learn how your brain responds to what you give your focused attention to; how neuroscience backs up the old adage, "what you look for is what you will find," and how believing in true love can create a self-fulfilling prophecy. You’ll hear about the "Yay! Experiment," the "Singing Grocer," Einstein’s favorite mind tool, and the importance of "Minding the Gap." It teaches you processes to reduce trips down "Pain Highway," and clever tools to navigate any "Bumps in the Road" along the way, putting you on love’s superhighway where all the lights are green. So if you’re ready to have some fun and unsingle yourself forever, let’s get to it. Retraining your brain for love starts now.
