This book is the perfect manual for anyone who wants to take control of the reactions to their natural emotions--either at work or in your personal life. It is written in plain English and is literally a step by step guide that simplifies very complex human emotions, reactions and perceptions that we all experience in our day to day lives. I wish I had this book 20 years earlier in my life as it really can make an instrumental difference. I would also recommend it for anyone who has impulsive tendencies because it provides a method to making better decisions despite natural human behavior. Marcia Reynolds is brilliant.

Powerful, practical, and timely are the three words I'd use to describe the essence of material discussed in "Outsmart Your Brain---How to Make Success FEEL Easy", by Marcia Reynolds. After you read this intelligent book, you might consider replacing the mantra, "Change your thoughts, change your behavior," for "Shift your emotions, take charge of your life."

This insightful book, "Outsmart Your Brain", will train you how to access the emotional intelligence your own brain protects you from experiencing. Chapter Two asks the question, "Do you have what it takes?" and guides you through the steps to being emotionally intelligent by building a personal foundation, all important to seizing, or regaining control of your personal or business life. Author, Marcia Reynolds, also includes three detailed Appendix sections. Appendix A, "Name That Emotion," helps you become familiar with your different emotional states. Appendix B, is a "Self-Care Checklist," how the effects of stress lower your stamina, and daily exercises to raise it. The third, Appendix C, is the "Resiliency Rate" assessment which judges how quickly you emotionally rebound from frustrations or let downs.

One of my favorite phrases from"Outsmart Your Brain---How to Make Success FEEL Easy", is on page 59, "Relax, Center, and Focus to see the world in a whole new light." Marcia Reynolds illuminating book educates the reader how to eliminate the mental stumbling blocks that may hinder you from personal, or business success.
