Right Brain’s Way: Chapter 2: From resistance to an opportunity
You may not like the following idea. In fact, very few really like this idea. The reactions range from anger to avoidance, from ignoring to claiming that it is pure nonsense.

Right Brain’s Way: Chapter 3: Get ready to work hard and to enjoy the process
The reason a problem has remained intact in your life is directly related to your reluctance to do the hard work required to change the situation.

Right Brain’s Way: Chapter 4: Normal Right-Brain emotional processing
The Bible begins with a pretty bleak picture. God's spirit was flowing amongst the chaos of darkness and nothingness.

Right Brain’s Way: Chapter 8: Notice the childish features of your addiction.
A Right-Brain acknowledgment is related to an emotional state in which you can recognize something as familiar through your feelings.

Right Brain’s Way: Chapter 9: Get ready to start working: envision your way out of the problem
You may not believe this is possible. It may be hard to grasp, now, that a life without this problem is really waiting for you just a few steps ahead.

Right Brain’s Way: Chapter 10: Ready to divorce your problem? No you are not!
There is nothing in the world you would like more than to reach a state where your problem is no longer present, right? Never have I seen one person going through this (and I have seen a lot) without a tremendous desire to get rid of all their nagging, chronic, painful and recurrent problems. So…
