Eric Maisel（I）：Simple images can help in shaping the way we think

用视觉想象改变行为方式

Using simple visualization exercises, Eric Maisel, PhD, guides readers through techniques that change not only what you think, but also how you think, in his new book "Redesign Your Mind: The Breakthrough Program for Real Cognitive Change."

"The book is really based on a lot of guided visualization, a lot of pictures, pictures of the mind, and ways you can change that picture from one kind to another kind of picture," Maisel told Shanghai Daily.

"This seemed light-hearted and amusing. And there aren't that many tactics in psychology that produced results that quickly, that directly."

Maisel has written 61 books on issues such as creativity, life objectives, critical psychology and critical psychiatry, and mental fitness, and there is no indication that he will stop.

By imagining "The room is your mind," Maisel cracks down the complex psychological concepts with easy-to-understand imagines and real cases to address major challenges like depression, addiction, procrastination, loneliness, and promote cognitive growth, trauma healing as well as fundamental change.

A native of United States, Maisel is a successful author and a columnist for a number of well-known sites, including the Huffington Post and Psychology Today. He runs a creativity coaching practice after retiring as a practicing family therapist.
