"We need to re-learn the essential skill of being genuinely nurturing and supportive toward ourselves."

But science proves that the body and brain can be healed with the intervention of lifestyle protocols that help us to regain our cognitive birthright. In the Genius Life, Lugavere expands the Genius Foods plan, which focused on nutrition and how it affects brain health, and expands it to encompass a full lifestyle protocol.

Too heavy for listening while doing something else. More of the type of book to actually read instead of listening to, but content is great.

It’s genuinely changed my life
I don’t have enough words for how this book has helped me. I have shared it with everyone I know. I have bought the hard copy after hearing the audio book just so I can make notes. I feel heard, seen, and validated for the first time in my life. I got this book at the perfect time (I’ve had a life time of trauma, struggle with rumination depression and anxiety, and last year, at 35 years old, i was diagnosed with ADHD. it’s been really hard for me. It’s like I don’t know who I am. This book helped me start identifying this and gave me the tools to move forward.) I’m so grateful for its information and I can’t wait to keep diving deeper into ACT and establish a consistent practice and become who I am meant to be.
Thank you Russ Harris. Thank you so so much. There is more information in this book than any other “self help” book I’ve ever read. He doesn’t impose beliefs or ideas on you like a lot seem to, he simply shares his knowledge in a kind, and numerous way. I can’t wait to listen to it all over again.
Buy this book. Listen to it. Do what it recommends. It will honestly change your life.
Thank you so much for finally providing the information I needed. I’ve been searching for this my whole life.
