Bibliography
In the course of my work, as well as for the writing of “Rewire Your Brain for Love” (Hay House, 2012), I was like a kid in a candy store when it came to article and books on mindfulness, the brain, and relationships. I reference many of these in the book, but I thought I’d share at least some of the broader collection of work that informed my thinking.
And — if there’s a great book or article that I’ve not listed here, please be sure to contact me and let me know!
