We all want the power and motivation to create change in our lives. But how to get that in a stumbling dance of one step forward and two steps back? Negative emotions run rampant in many people's lives today; a reality that feels like a shrink wrap of suffering. Popular fallback solutions of performance-based goals and tools focus on extrinsic rewards like fame, wealth, or winning. But overuse of those rewards doesn't work for the long term and in fact weakens our confidence and motivation over time, leaving us vulnerable to failure and shame.

It doesn't have to be that way. Through three decades of researching and tracking such universal struggles to change our behavior, Dr. Kyra Bobinet unveils the way out, using novel neuroscience research on a compelling new brain area, the habenula. In this book, she reveals the habenulas powerful role in killing our motivation and causing anxiety and depression and offers a foolproof way to escape its clutches.

This is one of the books I've been looking for all my life. A practical guide that is research based that not only explains our personal struggles with behavioral modifications but provides actionable steps to make changes that last. The book is crystal clear about the mindsets that best support these efforts.

This book is all the.more unique because it's part memoir. A Doctor, cutting edge researcher shares first hand struggles with addiction, weight loss, exercise and some of life's greatest challenges. This personal insight motivated and inspired and brings a personal touch that is rare in this genre. She also draws upon clinical experience with many top level achievers. it feels like receiving a personal letter from the front lines of brain and behavioral research just when I needed it. This the kind of book that happens when someone is acting in their gift and has the bravery and courage to transparently share her challenges with her audience. I can't wait to learn more.

Kyra Bobinet brilliantly reveals how our brains actually work — and why willpower has never been the answer. With science, clarity, and deep compassion, she shows us how to design environments that make healthy choices effortless and sustainable. This book doesn’t just inform — it liberates. If you want real change that lasts, this is essential reading.

Unstoppable Brain is a game-changer.

This book is a wonderful, new look at how to better your life through neuroscience. It walked me through why things work for me for a while, then they totally don't, why I lie to my calorie tracker, why, even though I'm a dedicated hard worker, I give up so easily sometimes. And so importantly, Kyra gives a list of things that can go wrong, and strategies to deal with them. I so wish she had a pdf of the various "failure diseases" and how to avoid them.

Thank you from a neuroscience geek!

I loved the real life examples, and the practical information that I'll be able to start implementing today! The author seems authentic and I'm excited to put her recommendations into practice! I can't wait to have the life changing experiences that she described, and to have an iterative mindset instead of a failure mindset. Everyone needs to read this book! I'm a teacher and there's so much that I learned that applies to my teaching practice too.

Usable Information and so Inspiring!
