"In Better in Every Sense, neuroscientists Zindel Segal and Norman Farb reveal how to effectively break free from our negative patterns by fully engaging our sensory network. Grounded in decades of scientific research, Segal and Farb explore the life-changing benefits of learning to toggle between our brain's two networks-our rapid problem-solving (habit) network and our network devoted to fresh insight (sensation).

Break out of negative patterns, relieve anxiety, build new habits, and find fresh motivation by using the groundbreaking "sense foraging" techniqueÂ
How do you make a change in your life when the tools you used to rely on start letting you down? Whether weâre struggling with a problem, a bad habit, or life in general, we often think we need to âtough it outâ or âtry harder.â But when we do that, our brains double down on the patterns that got us stuck in the first place. Fortunately, the science of sensation provides the key.
In Better in Every Sense, neuroscientist Norman Farb and clinical psychologist Zindel Segal explain that the brain has two networksâthe rapid problem-solving (habit) network and the sensory network, which is devoted to fresh insight. By tuning into sensationsâfrom the feeling of our feet on a crowded street to the sound of birdsong in the parkâwe can engage the sensory network. When weâre stressed or stuck, we can use the technique of "sense foraging" to boost our resilience, well-being, health, and creativity wherever we are.
Grounded in decades of scientific research and filled with simple exercises and practical mental techniques, Better in Every Sense explores the power of sensory experiences to liberate us from ruts and dead endsâand handle all of lifeâs challenges.
