It’s a common belief that achieving our goals and reaching success equates to peace and happiness. But what happens when it doesn’t? This week, host Paula Felps is joined by Tom Rosshirt, a former Capitol Hill press secretary and White House speechwriter who reached the pinnacle of his career only to find himself battling anxiety, depression, and illness. In his new book, Chasing Peace: A Story of Breakdowns, Breakthroughs, and the Spiritual Power of Neuroscience, Tom reveals how his relentless pursuit of success led to a physical and emotional breakdown. He shares how he used neuroplasticity to address ailments rooted in the brain’s neural circuits, ultimately reversing the patterns that kept him unwell and opening the door to the life he was seeking.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why so much illness and chronic pain begins in the neural circuits of the brain – and why mainstream medicine can’t cure it.
- How reducing fear can help us heal from chronic conditions.
- How retraining your brain will change every area of your life.
