A leading neuroscientist and pioneer in the study of mindfulness explains why addictions are so tenacious and how we can learn to conquer them  “I found [The Craving Mind] to be one of the best things I’ve read . . . on addiction.”—Ezra Klein, New York Times  “Accessible and enjoyable. The Craving Mind brilliantly combines the latest science with universal real-life experiences—from falling in love to spending too much time with our phones.”—Arianna Huffington  We are all vulnerable to addiction. Whether it’s a compulsion to constantly check social media, binge eating, smoking, excessive drinking, or any other behaviors, we may find ourselves uncontrollably repeating. Why are bad habits so hard to overcome? Is there a key to conquering the cravings we know are unhealthy for us?  This book provides groundbreaking answers to the most important questions about addiction. Judson Brewer, a psychiatrist and neuroscientist who has studied the science of addictions for twenty years, reveals how we can tap into the very processes that encourage addictive behaviors in order to step out of them. He describes the mechanisms of habit and addiction formation, then explains how the practice of mindfulness can interrupt these habits. Weaving together patient stories, his own experience with mindfulness practice, and current scientific findings from his own lab and others, Brewer offers a path for moving beyond our cravings, reducing stress, and ultimately living a fuller life.

A program proven to heal our relationship with food and our bodies from New York Times bestselling author of Unwinding Anxiety.Sometimes it feels as if there are as many ways to struggle with food as there are foods to eat. Craving, habit, emotions, boredom, stress, anxiety, or just the simple fact that a box of donuts seems to be omnipresent in the break room (free food!) can lead to feeling out of control around food. While anxiety feels like something that happens to us, the pull of food seems like something we should be able to handle. After all, we have to eat! But it’s not that simple. The result of this constant struggle—and then giving in or giving up—is a toxic cocktail of shame and self-judgment that makes it feel like it is impossible to change our behavior.The Hunger Habit is based on Judson Brewer’s deeply researched plan proven to help us understand what is going on in our brains so that we can heal the guilt and frustration we experience around eating. This is not a diet book pretending not to be a diet book. The step-by-step program focuses on training our brains to tap into awareness to change our relationship with food and eating—shifting it from fighting with ourselves to befriending our minds and bodies. There is no willpower, calorie-counting, or restricted eating. Setbacks are a good thing! The key is to learn how to work with our brains rather than resisting our impulses, and to adopt an attitude of self-kindness rather than self-judgment.Grounded in cutting-edge neuroscience and Brewer’s several decades of clinical practice as a psychiatrist, The Hunger Habit is both accessible and compassionate. It will finally help you break out of food jail and reclaim your life.

Kaygi artik yalnizca zor zamanlarda ugradigimiz bir duygu degil. G?nl?k hayatin ritmine karismis, neredeyse g?r?nmez hale gelmis bir aliskanlik. Uyumadan ?nce zihinde d?n?p duran d?s?nceler, durmaksizin telefona uzanmak, ertelenen isler, kontrol edilemeyen senaryolar, sosyal medyada kaybolup gitmek, "rahatlamak" i?in yapilan ama sonunda daha da yoran davranislar- Modern insanin zihni ?ogu zaman s?rekli ?alisan bir alarm sistemi gibi yasiyor. D?nyaca ?nl? psikiyatrist ve n?robilimci Judson Brewer, yillardir milyonlarca insanin hayatina dokunan ?alismalarinda tam da bu d?ng?ye odaklaniyor. Kaygiyi Anlamak Yetmez, Onunla ?alismak Gerekir Okuyan Us okurlari Brewer'in ?alismalarina yabanci degil. Daha ?nce yayimladigimiz Kaygi D?ng?s?n? Kirmak ve Yeme D?ng?s?n? Kirmak, kaygi ve aliskanliklar ?zerine gelistirdigi bilimsel yaklasimi genis okur kitleleriyle bulusturmustu. Brewer bu kitaplarda, beynimizin ?d?l sistemiyle ?alisan davranis d?ng?lerini anlasilir bir dille a?ikliyor; kayginin, stresin ve d?rt?sel davranislarin nasil ?grenildigini g?steriyordu. Simdi ise sira teoriyi g?ndelik hayata tasimakta. Kaygi D?ng?s?n? Kirmak ?alisma Kitabi yalnizca okunacak degil, deneyimlenecek bir kitap. ??nk? kaygiyi degistiren sey bilgi degil; farkindalik, tekrar ve yeni deneyimlerdir. Zihnin I?indeki Otomatik Pilotu Fark Etmek Brewer'a g?re kaygi ?ogu zaman bir "karakter ?zelligi" degil, ?grenilmis bir aliskanlik d?ng?s?. Beyin belirsizlikten hoslanmaz; bu y?zden kontrol etmeye, d?s?nmeye, analiz etmeye, tekrar tekrar ayni senaryolari kurmaya y?nelir. Kisa s?reli rahatlama saglayan bu davranislar zamanla otomatiklesir ve kaygiyi besleyen g?r?nmez bir sisteme d?n?s?r. Iste bu ?alisma kitabi, okuru tam da bu sistemin i?ine bakmaya ?agiriyor. Sayfalar boyunca karsimiza ?ikan egzersizler, farkindalik ?alismalari, journaling alanlari ve g?zlem pratikleri sayesinde okur kendi tetikleyicilerini kesfetmeye basliyor. Hangi durumlarda kayginin y?kseldigini, zihnin hangi davranislara ka?tigini ve bedenin bu s?re?te nasil tepki verdigini adim adim g?rmeye basliyor. Bu y?zden kitap, klasik kisisel gelisim metinlerinden ayriliyor. Okura "pozitif d?s?n" demiyor. Kaygiyi bastirmayi ya da yok etmeyi vadetmiyor. Bunun yerine ?ok daha g??l? bir sey ?neriyor: Kaygiyla kurulan iliskiyi degistirmek. Modern D?nyanin G?r?nmez Bagimliliklari Bug?n kaygi yalnizca zihinsel bir mesele degil; davranislarimizi, iliskilerimizi ve g?ndelik aliskanliklarimizi bi?imlendiren bir sistem haline geldi. S?rekli bildirim kontrol etmek, sosyal medyada kaybolmak, ertelemek, stres yemekleri yemek ya da gece yarisi zihni susturamamak- T?m bunlar ?ogu zaman ayni d?ng?n?n farkli y?zleri. Brewer'in yaklasimi tam da burada ?arpici bir a?iklik sunuyor. Kayginin bizi "bozan" bir sey degil, beynin ?grenilmis bir g?venlik stratejisi oldugunu g?steriyor. Ve ?grenilmis her d?ng? gibi bunun da degisebilecegini anlatiyor. Belki de kitabin en g??l? yani burada yatiyor: Okura kusurlu olmadigini degil, beyninin belirli kaliplari tekrar ettigini g?steriyor. Bu farkindalik ise ?ogu zaman d?n?s?m?n ilk adimi oluyor. Bilimsel Temelli, Uygulamali ve D?n?st?r?c? Mindfulness, n?robilim ve davranis psikolojisini bir araya getiren Kaygi D?ng?s?n? Kirmak ?alisma Kitabi, yalnizca kaygiyla m?cadele edenlere degil; zihnini daha iyi anlamak isteyen herkese hitap ediyor. Brewer'in milyonlarca insan tarafindan izlenen TED konusmalari ve d?nya ?apinda ses getiren kitaplariyla sekillenen y?ntemi, bu kez dogrudan uygulamaya d?n?s?yor. Okur, kitabin her b?l?m?nde yalnizca yeni bilgiler edinmiyor; ayni zamanda kendi zihinsel aliskanliklarini g?zlemlemeyi ?greniyor. ??nk? bazen degisim, zihni susturmaktan degil, onu ilk kez ger?ekten duymaktan basliyor. "Kaygi D?ng?s?n? Kirmak, Judson Brewer'in bizzat gelistirdigi ve klinik olarak etkisi kanitlanmis y?ntemini adim adim sunuyor; kaygi, obsesif d?s?nceler, bagimlilik ve daha fazlasindan zihni ?zg?rlestirmeye yardimci oluyor. Beyninizi daha saglikli bi?imlerde yeniden sekillendirirken, zihninizin i? isleyisini daha derinden anlamaniza ve daha ?zg?r, minnet dolu, baglantili ve neseli bir yasam s?rmenize rehberlik ediyor."

Spoiler: Bu kitapta "Spor yapin, papatya ?ayi i?in, bulmaca ??z?n" gibi ?neriler yok! Kendinizi bunalmis ve kontrolden ?ikmis hissediyor; yeme bozuklugu, erteleme aliskanligi, stres gibi g?nl?k hayatinizi derinden etkileyen irili ufakli ataklar yasiyor; sosyal medyada g?rd?g?n?z herhangi bir i?erikle kaygi denizinde boguldugunuzu d?s?n?yorsaniz yalniz degilsiniz- Dr. Judson Brewer, kisisel sorunlardan t?m uluslarin yasadigi zorluklara kadar her alanda kayginin hayatlarimizi nasil etkiledigini ?arpici bir dille anlattigi Kaygi D?ng?s?n? Kirmak ile bagimliliklariniza farkli bir a?idan bakmanizi sagliyor. Bu bagimliliklarin yarattigi kaygi d?ng?s?n?n basit ve d?zenli alistirmalarla ?stesinden gelebileceginizi danisanlari ?zerinden ?rneklerle aktaran Brewer, tetikleyicileri kesfetmeyi ve ??z?me giden yolda kaygiyi haritalandirmayi basarmaniz i?in isik tutuyor. Laboratuvarinda ger?eklestirdigi uygulamalar araciligiyla beyin temelli teknikler kullanmanizin ve bilin?li farkindalik egzersizleri yapmanizin hayatlarinizi nasil iyilestirecegini g?zler ?n?ne seriyor. Bakkaldan aldigimiz tuzlu fistik paketini bize sabunlu suyla yikatmis bir d?nyada kaygidan uzak kalabilmek bir se?enek olmaktan ?ikmis gibi g?r?n?yor. Dr. Judson Brewer'in yirmi yili askin kaygi uzmanligini sigdirdigi bu kiymetli ?alismasi, bu bogucu zamanlarda kaygi d?ng?s?nden ?ikis yolunu bizlere g?stermekle kalmiyor, kayginin t?m kilcal damarlarina n?fuz etmemizi ve b?ylece "d?smanimizi" tanimamizi da sagliyor. Uzakdogu restoranina gittigimde "Ya son seferden bu yana v?cudum deniz ?r?nleri alerjisi gelistirdiyse?" d?s?ncesi esliginde panik atak ge?irmisligim olmasa da anksiyeteden iyi k?t? ?ekmis biri olarak bir daha, bastan sona, alti ?izilerek okunacaklar listeme girdi bile. -Erkam Evlice, Edit?r
