It’s time to change your mind…

What people are saying about The Brain Mechanic:

"Great Book!"
—Sheri Salata: Executive Producer, The Oprah Winfrey Show; President, Harpo Studios

"Concise, accessible, and indescribably powerful."
—David Geffen: Co-Founder, Dreamworks SKG

"Spending one night with The Brain Mechanic can change your life."
—Lori Andrews: Legal Chair, Human Genome Project; Ethical Chair, Kent Law

"Spencer is the ultimate connector - of our friends, our dreams and our brains."
—Hilary Rosen: Editor-at-Large, The Huffington Post; CNN Political Contributor

"Imagine that... THINKING actually does play an important role in how we feel and what we do... The Brain Mechanic not only reinforces that causal link, but it arms readers with tools to apply cognitive behavioral therapy techniques in their daily lives."
—Joe Zuniga: President/CEO, International Association of Physicians in AIDS Care

"Your brain can't run without a good mechanic. Spence is mine."
—Howard Bragman: Author; Publicist; Founder, Fifteen Minutes

"In an easy to read, and simplistic way, Lord explains the science & dynamics of Cognitive Behavioral Theory and how our spurious beliefs can be changed via 'self-enhancement.' This is the ‘must’ read book to create self-change and build a sustained life balance."
—Meghan Stabler: President Obama LGBT Policy Finance and Steering Committee Alumni; HRC Board of Directors

“This is heavyweight psycho-spiritual guidance doled out with a ladle of honey. Spencer is the quintessential affable guru - friendly, approachable, flexible. His ‘emotional algebra’ provides an invaluable formula for liberation, empowering each of us to be our own brain mechanic instead of a sniveling victim to the false self. A ‘must read’ for spiritual seekers - one which I will be using at Columbia College with my Mystical Consciousness students.”
—Dr. Elizabeth-Anne Stewart, Ph.D.: Author; Professor

"A work of preternatural genius."
—Dr. William Cole: Former President, Lake Forest College; Chairman, Chicago Council on Foreign Relations

"Well, I thought I knew everything. Apparently not. This book has, if I say so myself, made me brilliant. I have only two words for anyone who wants to unlock the potential of his/her brain: You. Must. Read. This."
—Elayne Boosler: Writer; Comedian; Founder, Tails of Joy

"I'm not sure which sexologist once quipped that the average man utilized the clitoris in much the way an orangutan might play a violin, but I thought of him when I read "The Brain Mechanic." Not, of course, because I have a clitoris (that is NOT what is in my jar by the door), but because most of us use our brains as ineptly and as rarely.
I do know that Neil Simon used to read "How To Be Your Own Best Friend" twice a day with a glass of water, because it got him back in his best frame of mind, flushed out the toxins. Nora Ephron thought the book might be magical. That was more than thirty years ago. Today, I think they would find this book to be their magic pill.
I like how the book distills a lot of knowledge that we are SUPPOSED to know and think we already know, but rarely utilize. I want to quip some more (because the book gets your engines going and the synapses aflame), but to be as clear and as precise as the book, let me just say that it allows you to begin living the examined life we always thought was a myth.
Like that clitoris. And that musical orangutan."
—Jim Grissom: HBO, Writer/Editor; Author

"An indispensable interdisciplinary tool for taking back control from the demons that plague us - anxiety, depression, drug addiction, etc."
—C. Cryn Johannsen: Founder, Education Matters

"Spencer Lord has provided us with a user's manual to the human brain. By applying the material in 'The Brain Mechanic' one has the tools to positively change their life. I see this book as a step in the right direction to powerfully merge science and spirituality."
—Jesse Brune: Founder, Project Service L.A.

“It will change your outlook and your life!”
—ANT: Comedian; VH1 Host

“The how-to guide for taking control of your emotional life. A great read!”
—Richard Dowling: Pianist; Recording Artist; Founder, Dowling Music
