We can retrain the brain to focus on the good things in life. We step into our “normal” when we do this, because we are wired for love. Having an “attitude of gratitude,” so to speak, enables us to see more possibilities, to feel more energy, and to succeed at higher levels in our lives.

Caroline Leaf

Caroline Leaf (geboren 1963) ist eine südafrikanisch-US-amerikanische Kommunikationspathologin, Buchautorin und Vortragsrednerin im freikirchlich-charismatischen Umfeld. Sie wurde durch Bestseller wie „Switch On Your Brain“ bekannt, in denen sie biblische Aussagen zur Sinneserneuerung mit Konzepten der Neuroplastizität und mentalen Entgiftung verknüpft. Bibellesern bietet sie alltagsnahe Impulse zum Umgang mit belastenden Denkmustern, steht jedoch wegen methodisch fragwürdiger neurowissenschaftlicher Behauptungen und einer pauschalen Reduktion von Krankheitsursachen auf falsches Denken in der Kritik.
