I probably shouldn’t share this, but I started writing Get Back into Whack a long time ago. I bought the domain in 2011. I started to write about brain function, how the mind works, the effects of stress on the body, and more.
Then I went into a transitional period where I knew that some pieces to the puzzle were missing.
I studied behavioral neuroscience – especially in the fields of habit formation and how to make them “stick.” I continued my education, research, and personal experimentation.
Then I researched and experimented some more.
This process went on for years until I felt I had a handle on why it is that some can easily adapt to new habits while others don’t.
This is the result: I’ve distilled a decade’s worth of research and application into one book. One comprehensive book.
And TODAY, you can grab it for an embarrassingly low price.
Why?
Because I think everyone should have the opportunity to Get Back into Whack.

What You’ll Find in Get Back into Whack
Here’s a brief summary of what you’ll find in each chapter:
Chapter 1 – What Drives You?
Chapter 1 explores the concepts of healing, transformation, and habits. It details brain function and studies how the brain searches for patterns in order to make sense of the world around us. This chapter introduces the important concept of the MAPP (our Mind’s Assessment of our Personal Patterns). Understanding the unique tendencies of how our mind works offers insight into selecting methods of healing progress that work best for each of us as individuals.
Chapter 2 – The Great Mental Divide
Chapter 2 goes into greater detail on brain (mind) function, defining the unique characteristics of both conscious and nonconscious thought patterns. This root-level topic helps readers to gain awareness of how the parts of the mind work in tandem to facilitate goal achievement, congruency of values, motivation, and more. This topic of discussion also seeds greater awareness of negative behaviors such as critical self-talk and self-sabotage.
Chapter 3 – Sabotage, Surprises, & Self-Chatter
Chapter 3 examines the theme of self-sabotage and unwanted behaviors that may seem perplexing. The topics of fears, resistance, actions, brain chaos, and facts vs. beliefs are discussed. Also included is an illustration of how unforeseen fears can stop or hinder progress.
Chapter 4 – The Pain Brain & Chronic Symptoms
Chapter 4 introduces the relationship between the functions of the brain and how the body perceives pain. It shares more information on the connections between how our brain processes thoughts (either negative or positive) and our ability to react or adapt.
Chapter 5 – Smart Systems & Strategies
Chapter 5 explores the presence of self-talk as it relates to our ability to take action and follow through on our desired behaviors. This chapter offers several key strategies to deal with negative self-talk as well as a powerful CBT-based (cognitive behavioral therapy) method to pivot away from feeling stuck and toward positive action.
Chapter 6 – Your Brain’s Happiness Springboard
Chapter 6 provides a convenient space to define your goals (in several key areas). It also shares concepts and ideas that often block success so that they can be identified and navigated in advance. This chapter details the various brainwave states to clarify what states facilitate or enhance learning, creativity, focus, productivity, healing, and more.
Chapter 7 – Motivation Mastery: Potholes & Bridges
Chapter 7 explores the concept of focus – why it can sometimes be fleeting and arbitrary. This chapter answers the age-old question of “why is it that I do what I don’t want to do?” It explores the connection between our intentions and our actions and provides a method to amplify motivation (which improves results).
Chapter 8 – Stress: My Story & the AWOL Factor
Chapter 8 digs into the topic of stress, revealing both the physical and emotional impact on the body. I share a brief retelling of my health recovery story and pinpoint what I know now as opposed to what I knew then. Also provided in this chapter are several key stress management methods, a general philosophy on healing chronic health challenges, an overview of epigenetics, and a discussion on the broad topic of inflammation.
Chapter 9 – Stress: Waiting for the Stop Sign to Turn Green
Chapter 9 digs even deeper into the body’s response to stress. This chapter discusses what impact stress has on the brain itself as well as a discussion about one of the primary subjects of this book – the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS). The chronic illness body becomes “stuck” in the fight, flight, or freeze response of the ANS, and suggestions for counteracting this effect are shared. This chapter also introduces the subject of micro habits and how they can limit the body’s exposure to the stress response and improve overall health in a big way.
Chapter 10 – Sketch Your Own Success Blueprint
Chapter 10 begins with an overview of the process of how change happens. This chapter provides a detailed and powerful strategy to facilitate change called the ADAPT and GROW technique. Step-by-step details of this method are illustrated as a blueprint for success.
Chapter 11 – Case Study: A Portrait of Self-Growth
Chapter 11 provides a real-life case study of the ADAPT and GROW technique in action. The easy-to-follow steps of this technique are outlined in this chapter and share one person’s path of discovery as she creates positive lifestyle changes for herself and for her family.
Chapter 12 – Navigate Smooth Seas or Squalls
Chapter 12 reveals the four phases of growth, which serve as an outline of the learning process. This chapter also shares the Smooth Sailing analogy, which uncovers insights about the hurdles and positive advancements of the chronic illness journey. This chapter also reveals vital news about the often-misunderstood notion of willpower.
Chapter 13 – Transformational Healing
Chapter 13 sheds light on the subjects of post-traumatic growth, control, and the search for acceptance. I share a consensus of needs/wants that clients reveal to me about their own healing journeys and my analysis of what I’ve discovered in the process of working with them. This chapter also shares a simple process to sort through potentially destructive thoughts.
Chapter 14 – Grab Your Cape & Become a GBiW Superhero
Chapter 14 provides details on nearly two dozen character traits often associated with success, happiness, and whole-body healing. Readers are encouraged to review and align with the traits that feel right to them to assist with goal achievement, lifestyle planning, development of healthy relationships, and much more.

These practices pave the way for healing opportunities.
