Your Brain Is Lying to You

Every day, your mind feeds you stories about who you are, what you deserve, and what’s possible for you.

Most of them are lies. Lies disguised as logic, caution, or “just being realistic.” Lies that keep you anxious, overthinking, and second-guessing every decision.

In Your Brain Is Lying to You, Julian Shaw takes you inside the hidden mechanics of the human mind, showing how your thoughts manipulate your perception, distort your confidence, and quietly sabotage your progress. Blending neuroscience, psychology, and practical storytelling, this book reveals how to catch your brain in the act, challenge its illusions, and rewrite the mental code that shapes your life.

You’ll discover:

• Why your brain invents fear where none exists and how to retrain it
• The hidden “comparison trap” that fuels insecurity and how to escape it
• Why “positive thinking” fails and what actually rewires your mindset
• The 90-Second Rule that stops emotional spirals in their tracks
• How to turn doubt into data and reclaim control of your inner narrative

This isn’t about pretending that life is easy. It’s about finally seeing what’s real and breaking free from the invisible patterns that have been running the show.

If you’re ready to stop overthinking, outgrow fear, and build a brain that works for you, not against you, this book will change how you think about everything, including yourself.
