Thought Viruses: Powerful Ways to Change Your Thought Patterns and Get What You Want in Life

Thought viruses are unconscious thought patterns that distort our thinking and perception of the world. They can have a crippling effect on our professional and personal lives, leading to internal conflict, depression, failed relationships, and even serious health problems. Dr. Donald Lofland's latest book, Thought Viruses, integrates the tools of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, the life-transforming system of personal empowerment, with mind-body healing techniques that will help readers pinpoint and eradicate the destructive viruses in their lives. Dr. Lofland's skillful explanation of the types and structures of thought viruses shows readers how these self-defeating glitches in thinking strongly parallel biological and computer viruses in their capacity to take on a life of their own, self-replicate, and destabilize an entire system. He teaches readers why these toxins stall healthy mental activity and identifies how they manifest in our bodies in a variety of different forms, including debilitating fears of failure; excessive worry and guilt; compulsions and addictions; self-sabotaging tendencies; and internal conflicts that can trigger chronic, degenerative disease. Using his groundbreaking "Thought Virus Therapy" and step-by-step interactive exercises, Dr. Lofland teaches readers to reverse the emotional and psychological triggers that lead to self-destructive behavior and health problems and helps them move toward psychological and spiritual wholeness.
