Rights Available World excl. NZ


Adversity can hit anyone at any time, often unexpectedly. The loss of a close family member combined with his own experience of depression spurred Lance Burdett on to share what he’s learned about how the brain works. During his time both as a police crisis negotiator and later as a resilience and wellness specialist, Lance has undertaken extensive study into how our brain processes information, in order to better understand the levels of worry, anxiety, stress, depression and suicide found all around the world.

In Dark Side of the Brain, he explains how to control your thoughts, reduce the impact of negative emotions and manage your personal wellbeing so that you won’t ‘fall over’ as he once did. He also shows readers how to identify when somebody else may be struggling and shares strategies for reaching out to them in a safe way. This book provides plenty of straightforward, practical tools and techniques that will help you to form new habits, make positive change and rediscover balance in your life.
