Your mind doesn't want you to take that new job, sign up for that pottery class, or ask someone out. It wants you to stay unemployed, unfulfilled, and single because it enjoys routine and is resistant to change, no matter how positive the change may be. But more often than not, that's not what you want.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhose Mind Is It Anyway?\u003c\/i\u003e will help you learn how to separate what you want from what your brain wants and how to do less when your mind is trying to trick you into doing more. In a colorful, funny, and nonthreatening way, it answers the difficult question of how we can take control of our self-defeating behaviors. Filled with charming illustrations, this book will be the friendly voice in your head to counter your negative thoughts, and it will teach you how to finally be at peace with all that you are.“It's difficult for me to put into words how much I love \u003ci\u003eWhose Mind Is It Anyway?\u003c\/i\u003e Lisa and Franco manage to share age-old truths about human life in an unbelievably creative, hilarious, and smart way.
