Overview

Life truly is an odyssey. Throughout the ages, philosophers have argued and debated a variety of life’s topics. However, all agree on one universal truth: our mindset is the main factor that controls our life destiny. Everyone (regardless of occupation, background, race, or economic standing) wrestles with thoughts that strive to derail our personal and professional success. While we may not be able to control the thoughts that enter into our minds, we can absolutely control our reactions to those thoughts. This book is a summary review of the importance of our thought life in leading our physical life. Historical, medical, and practical, this book will begin the process of retraining your brain to live the extraordinary life. This is a quick, easy to read narrative meant to cut away the "fluff" and get right to the point of the power of our thought-life.


Description

This is a personal story sharing the one thing that transformed a "broken" adolescent, going from defeat in life to victory. Our MINDSET is the one thing that directs our destination on this ODYSSEY we call life! From our personal and professional choices made, to the relationships we choose, to our overall outlook on life it all comes down to MINDSET. From Marcus Aurelius of Ancient Rome to modern day motivational speakers, all agree that it is MINDSET (not external situations) that determines our destination. We alone have the power to choose fear/frustration or success/satisfaction. This brief narrative represents the research of a physician as he sought a remedy to his own struggles with depression and anxiety. As a chronological review from antiquity to modern day, Dr Chapa provides an easy to read timeline of the core concepts regarding the power of our mindset in our navigating through life. From King Solomon to present day thinkers, this book is a one-stop shop for all things to get your mindset correct! Additionally, as a physician, Dr Chapa incorporates information regarding how our mindset not only affects our mental and emotional health but our physical health as well. He ends his book with practical strategies for every day use to keep our mindset- our Mind Medicine- in proper function.

michael 		GREAT Mind Medicine For All! Love this. Most books I buy, I cannot get myself to finish because they become repetitive. Not this one. Chapa gives a great review of major ideas from history and science in a quick and easy to read way that kept my attention to the very last page. This information should be taught to all students starting in high school and should be required in college. Wish I had understood the power of our thoughts years before. Chapa also gives a very personal perspective right at the start which makes it more meaningful. I have recommended this to students entering college as a great motivator.
