Life from the Top of the Mind

Life from the Top of the Mind

Bill Crawford, Ph.D.

This series of video podcasts is based upon a system for success developed by psychologist, Dr. Bill Crawford, (Ph.D.). The basic premise of this philosophy is that the reason we are less than effective is that the problems in our life trigger the release of certain stress-related chemicals that engage the lower 20% of our brain which is incapable of creative thinking. This results in feelings of stress, frustration, and the desire to either lash out or escape. What makes Dr. Crawford's "Top of the Mind" system unique and powerful is that it shows us how to change the chemical make-up of our body and shift to the upper 80% of our brain where we can access the clarity, confidence, and creativity necessary to bring our best to all aspects of life.

Most of us have experienced disapproving of another's behavior and letting them know of our disapproval, only to have them begin to defend the very behavior we want them to change. Unfortunately, this often sparks more disapproval on our part (which the other person interprets as criticism,) and the cycle of conflict is created and exacerbated.
