The Self-Healing Mind embraces best prescription practices and alternative therapies, and offers a fresh option to the status quo, which is clearly failing. By seeing patients at his clinical practice and reaching people through different media platforms, he’s helping shape and drive that conversation in a positive, inclusive, and powerful way.” — Ben Court, executive editor of Men’s Health“In The Self-Healing Mind, Dr. Brown makes the process of optimizing mental health inspiring and feasible.

An extraordinary book.” — David Eagleman, neuroscientist at Stanford University, New York Times bestselling author“Dr. Brown demystifies the process by which we are able to engage in behaviors and mindsets that allow us to heal our own minds. He offers scientifically proven and tangible tools to maintain and improve our mental well-being, which can greatly benefit us all.” — Jenny T. Wang, PhD, clinical psychologist and author of Permission to Come Home: Reclaiming Mental Health as Asian Americans“If you want to feel better and get unstuck, this is your self-care playbook.
