Habit, Doctor of Psychology

DENVER, Feb. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- According to psychologist author Dr. David Zierk, PsyD, knowing how the mind works helps individuals examine and understand how they think, feel, and perceive the world around them. This process increases self-awareness and gives people greater control over how they choose to live. However, there's a catch. When the mind persistently acts independently without direct input from its host, personal growth stalls, and individuals feel stuck.

Key Points: 
  • In his book "Mind Rules," Dr. Zierk educates readers on why the mind works the way it does and why people develop certain behaviors, action tendencies, and habits.
  • By learning how the mind works, Dr. Zierk's book can help readers become who they were always meant to be.
  • In his book "Mind Rules," Dr. Zierk educates readers on why the mind works the way it does and why people develop certain behaviors, action tendencies, and habits.
  • "Mind Rules" was written to answer these questions and give the reader a cheat sheet to understand how their mind works."
