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.

When the mind persistently acts independently without direct input from its host, personal growth stalls, and individuals feel stuck.

  • By learning how the mind works, Dr. Zierk's book can help readers become who they were always meant to be.
