But it also beguiles us with its endless mysteries, allowing us to ponder why different languages emerged, why there isn't simply a single language, how languages change over time and whether that's good or bad, and how languages die out and become extinct.

Publisher's Summary
The bestselling author of Undoing Depression offers a brain-based guide to help us finally get rid of the bad habits that plague us.
We humans tend to get in our own way time and time again - whether it comes to not speaking up for ourselves, going back to bad romantic partners, our umpteenth diet, or engaging in any of a range of bad habits we just can’t seem to shake. In Rewire, renowned psychotherapist Richard O’Connor, PhD, reveals why our bad habits die so hard. We have two brains - one a thoughtful, conscious, deliberative self, and the other an automatic self that does most of the work without our attention. Using new research and knowledge about how the brain works, the audiobook clears a path to lasting, effective change for behaviors that include:
- procrastination
- overeating
- chronic disorganization
- staying in bad situations
- excessive worrying
- risk-taking
- passive aggression
- self-medication
- and more
Bringing together many different fields in psychology and brain science, Rewire offers a refreshing, science-based new paradigm for readers of Charles Duhigg and Frank Lawlis.

Very little, unclearly presented actionable advice
The most actionable part was the last chapter. Everything else was negative fodder on all the paradigms and thoughts that come with them that are related to self-destructive behaviour. Very early on it became a real monotonous struggle to keep listening to all the ways your thoughts can be softly killing you.

badly needs a new narrator
I was very excited about this book, however, I can't get through it with the current narrator, Fred Stella. while he has a great voice, it's not the right one for this kind of book. he sounds like a radio announcer, or more suited to sell something on a commercial or infomercial. it's really hard to take the content seriously, as I feel like I'm being duped due to this commercial voice.
I really tried several times to get through the book, but cannot. so i can't fairly judge the entire book, and just gave it a neutral 3 stars.

Much More psychology than I wanted.
This is a good book with pretty good material, but the material goes into psychological discussions much more than I expected. mentions things like self harm, self mutilation, cutting yourself,... way too liberally, maybe that was a huge reason for writing the book for the writer but a bit off-putting for me.

This book is eh. I recommend The Little Book of Big Change
I am really surprised I did not like this book. I usually purchase books after going through reviews & star rankings on amazon..& although this one had a decent scoring I thought it was just eh..okay.
Instead I recommend the book The Little Book of Big Change by Dr. Amy Johnson. It goes over the same concepts of explaining the brain but Dr. Johnson explains the process WAY better & gives you power to actually CHANGE.
In honesty- I couldn’t read it in its entirety because it was not satisfying to me so maybe I’m missing something...but as an avid reader I truly believe there are better books on this subject

Meh
It's okay, particularly if you aren't familiar with his primary suggestions ... mindfulness meditation along with a 12 step program. If you are familiar with those and general behavioral modification principles, it's just several hours of listening hoping to hear something new. The narrator did a good job.

Not a how-to -just an overview
Any additional comments?
The title of the book is quite misleading.
If you are interested in a general, introductory overview to habits and repetitive patterns this is an ok book.
On the other hand, if you think (accordingly to the title) that you can get some insights as to how to tackle those problems, well, you are up to a big disappointment.
Buy if you are for the first case, don't for the second.
PS: I considered the title of the book and description to be extremely misleading -hence the rating.

Re-wire this book
Very disappointing and a bit painful a listen. The narration did not help. As of chapter 2 (and I mightn't make it much further) it references myriad studies without giving enough detail about them to make them interesting or meaningful. It borders on anecdotal with neither humour nor human interest- dry as a bone! After two chapters I am no clearer on the concept or process of re-wiring. The book doesn't explain the science of how the brain works but instead gives tons on stories and makes these meaningless references. I feel obligated to finish (clearly how unfortunately my brain is wired). I hope it has more insight in later chapters, but not worth the purchase. There are so many other more interesting books that deliver on the promise of the title. But if you need to sleep...

New direction from Undoing Depression
O'Connor has a compelling personal narrative, but there is hardly a whisper of it in this synthesis of research into neuroscience and personal development. His work here is important because he doesn't shy away from the worst cases. He tries to tie conclusions of researchers in irrational economics to the role of the unconscious mind in maladies like chronic depression and anxiety. Definitely worth a listen.
