Rewire Your Mind by Jennifer Ferguson (£12.99, Aster)

Why do we feel the way we do about ourselves and the world? Why do we get stuck in negative thinking?

We’re hardwired to be self-critical and negative – and this undermines our experience of life.

It’s never too late to rewire your brain for positivity. No matter how old you are, you can sculpt new, healthy pathways in the brain and prune away old, unhealthy ones.

Prime the mind for joy by practising seeing the good in others and yourself.

Change your thinking patterns and you’ll discover a greater sense of inner calm, ease, joy and purpose. For good.
