We are directly responsible for what we choose to think about and dwell on, and we make these decisions in the privacy of our own thinking.

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.

William Temple

To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was yourself.
