The Open-Focus Brain: Harnessing the Power of Attention to Heal Mind and Body

This breakthrough book presents a disarmingly simple idea: The way we pay attention in daily life can play a critical role in our health and well-being. According to Dr. Les Fehmi, a clinical psychologist and researcher, many of us have become stuck in €œnarrow-focus attention€: a tense, constricted, survival mode of attention that holds us in a state of chronic stress€"and which lies at the root of common ailments including anxiety, depression, ADD, stress-related migraines, and more. To improve these conditions, Dr. Fehmi explains that we must learn to return to a relaxed, diffuse, and creative form of attention, which he calls €œOpen Focus.€

This highly readable and empowering book offers straightforward explanations and simple exercises on how to shift into a more calm, open style of attention that reduces stress, improves health, and enhances performance. The Open-Focus Brain features eight essential attention exercises for improving health, along with an audio CD in which the author guides the reader through fundamental Open-Focus exercises that can be used on a regular basis to enhance our health and well-being.

Dr. Fehmi writes, €œEveryone has the ability to heal their nervous systems, to dissolve their pain, to slow down and yet accomplish more, to experience the deeper side of life€"in short, to change their lives for the better dramatically.€ At last readers can learn the techniques that Dr. Fehmi has offered to thousands of clients€"the same drug-free, safe, and effective techniques that have led to remarkable and long-lasting results.
