The Cogjam Effect: And the Path to Healing Divisive Community and Fractured Science
Mental health disaster is growing roots, having sprouted from today’s socio-political meltdown. We typically blame it on politics. But our angst is actually fueled by fear response processes gone awry-within ourselves and others, both physically and mentally. Drawing from current understanding of disaster, brain science, cognitive development, trauma, and resilience, The Cogjam Effect explains how to find healing through mindfulness, compassion, and reenlisting reasoning skills we’ve honed since birth.

Beyond Divide: And the Tools That Get Us There
You might have noticed that The Cogjam Effect mentions little about spirituality and faith. Yet cogjam’s shenanigans are especially detrimental to our spiritual lives. Its negativity, combativeness, and shortsightedness wreak havoc with the values, ethics, and convictions of a healthy spiritual life—no matter which faith we practice.
The good news: by enlisting intellect, intuition, spirituality, and the will as tools, we can remedy such consequences. Beyond Divide: And the Tools That Get Us There addresses this missing piece of healing. While quotes from religious teachings are largely Judeo-Christian, Beyond Divide offers solutions for spiritual distress that apply to anyone of any faith. And amazingly, these recommended solutions dovetail with emerging brain science findings.
