“This is great stuff. The latest, best mindful brain science in a
wildly practical form, with wise and clear practices that can
radically transform your relationships.”
— Jack Kornfield, PhD, author of The Wise Heart: A Guide to the
Universal Teachings of Buddhist Psychology
“Change your brain’s pathways and you change the path of your
relationships: that’s what neuropsychologist and psychotherapist
Marsha Lucas, PhD, offers in Rewire Your Brain for Love. She uses
her sense of humor and compassion as much as her knowledge of
neuroscience and mindfulness to get you growing toward new, more
vibrant relationships. Incredibly useful and highly engaging!”
— Marci Shimoff, New York Times best-selling author of Happy
for No Reason and Love for No Reason
“Rewire Your Brain for Love is delightfully engaging and easy to
read. Everyone will find something life-enhancing inside these
pages.”
— Christiane Northrup, MD, OB/GYN physician and author of the New
York Times bestsellers Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom and The
Wisdom of Menopause
“Honest, warmhearted, and funny. Lucas explains neuroscience in
plain English, so all of us can understand. She brings great
clarity to the sometimes murky waters of romantic relationships and
gives us a wonderful introduction to mindfulness meditation and its
benefits.”
— Sharon Salzberg, author of Real Happiness
“Marsha Lucas takes the mystery out of two mysterious subjects—the
inner workings of our brains and the successful pursuit of true
love. She’s a wise and funny cupid, bringing together our hearts
and minds as she explains amygda-las and anxiety, frontal lobes and
commitment-phobes. She’s an excellent ad-vocate for meditation,
presenting its benefits in a unique, compelling way.”
— Priscilla Warner, New York Times bestseller and author of
Learning to Breathe
“Each of us has the potential to live with an open, loving heart.
This book shows us how meditation awakens our capacity for
increased presence, intimacy, and understanding in our
relationships. With clarity and humor, Marsha Lucas gives us both
the fascinating science behind this transformation, and the
practices that make it possible.”
— Tara Brach, PhD, author of Radical Acceptance and founder of the
Insight Meditation Community of Washington
“With Rewire Your Brain for Love, Marsha Lucas has pulled off
an achievement that is as valuable as it is rare: she synthesizes
complex neu-rophysiological information about the brain’s role in
relationships, in clear, reader-friendly ways; and combines this
with really smart, practical, effective tools and suggestions for
beefing up the capacity for attachment, drawing from a very smart,
sophisticated combination of meditative, mind-body, and
cognitive-behavioral techniques. And there’s a bonus: she’s a
really fine, witty, accessible writer. Anyone who struggles with
garden-variety anxiety about love, all the way up to full-blown
phobia, should read this book, more than once. And it should be
dog-eared and well worn on every therapist’s reference shelf.”
— Belleruth Naparstek, LISW, author of Invisible Heroes and creator
of the Health Journeys guided-imagery series
“Dr. Lucas shows readers how to use the power of
neuroplasticity—the capacity of the mind to change the brain—to
build up the ‘circuits’ of resil-ience, empathy, and assertiveness
for relationships. Her voice is warm, funny, down-to-earth,
practical, and so very helpful. This book is like having a best
friend who is both savvy about the brain and a world-class
therapist.”
— Rick Hanson, PhD, author of Buddha’s Brain
“With entertaining humor and enlightening clarity, Dr. Lucas blends
cutting-edge discoveries in neurobiology and psychology with
time-honored practices from ancient wisdom traditions to help us
navigate the challenges of intimate relationships. Full of
real-life examples and practical tools, this book is a de-lightful
must-read for anyone wanting to get along better with other
people.”
— Ronald D. Siegel, PsyD, Assistant Clinical Professor of
Psychology, Harvard Medical School; author of The Mindfulness
Solution
“Marsha Lucas’s Rewire Your Brain for Love is a smart and
reader-friendly guide for an exciting journey through our hearts
and brains. Dr. Lucas skill-fully interweaves her therapeutic and
neuroscientific knowledge with personal wisdom into a rich,
meaningful, and accessible tapestry that expands our self-awareness
in the service of sustaining and deepening our relationships.”
— Louis Cozolino, PhD, professor of Psychology, Pepperdine
University; author of The Neuroscience of Human Relationships
“This book is a fun and funky ride into love and neuroscience. You
will learn, laugh and maybe change how your brain deals with the
most important moments in your love life.”
— Dr. Sue Johnson, author of Hold Me Tight: Seven Conversations for
a Lifetime of Love
