“Break Through is a fascinating, science-backed exploration of the default mode network (DMN), considered to be the actual location of ‘self’ in the brain. Understanding and healing our DMN is a promising way to tackle society’s mental health epidemic.”
— Rick Doblin, PhD, Founder of MAPS
What’s stopping you from being truly happy and at peace? Could it be your wandering mind that constantly revisits painful thoughts and bad habits?
Scientists now have a name for the wandering mind—the default mode network (DMN), a barrier that can prevent you from enjoying life. Your DMN takes you away from the present moment and encourages you to ruminate on the past and future. This can lead to painful conditions—mental knots—like stress, anxiety, emotional pain, addiction, and depression.
Fortunately, you can break through this wall to the blissful peace in your core. Backed by scientific data, Break Through connects the medical and spiritual realms on a journey of inner healing. With a holistic approach, you can master your default mode and rise to your best self.
Unlock health, happiness, and inner peace, and open the door to new possibilities that you once deemed impossible.
THE PROBLEM
You work hard and you seek balance… Why isn’t that enough to keep you mentally sharp and emotionally resilient?
The problem is that there is a hidden force in your mind that keeps you locked in pain… and even experts are missing its impact.
It influences nearly everyone, regardless of how proactive or passive you are, or how seasoned or new you are in your career.
This issue affects not only your mental clarity but your overall sense of well-being.
And when I tell you what it is, you’ll be shocked…
… because it’s your “wandering mind,” which now has a name…
The Default Mode Network (DMN)
When your mind wanders, the DMN becomes active and takes you to the past or future, keeping you away from the present moment.
It also drives many of your snap judgments and automatic thoughts, influenced by your past experiences and memories to shape your beliefs about yourself, others, and reality.
The DMN is the silent force that keeps you from reaching your full potential.
And as long as it remains unchecked, it will continue to drain your energy, cloud your mind, and prevent you from reaching your full potential.
The good news is that you can break through your mind’s innate tendencies to find freedom, bliss, and connection with others.
Before I reveal the process, let me introduce myself.
My name is Hosein Kouros-Mehr. I’m an author and physician-scientist with three published books and over two decades of experience in cancer research and drug development.
I’ll reveal to you how your DMN keeps you locked in 11 mental “knots” that keep you from accessing the power within…I’ll reveal 11 science-backed strategies to overcome and heal from your mental knots so you can reclaim your happiness and self-confidence.
Your Default Mode Network (DMN) may be holding you back from your true potential
Here’s the truth: Most people blame their problems on their parents, appearance, or upbringing. In reality, most of our problems come from within.
And the DMN is a major driver of our problems. When the “wandering mind” is overactive, it can give rise to 11 mental knots that can give you to intense pain and suffering:
Stress
Emotional Pain
Addictive Craving
Loneliness
Negativity
Anxiety and Anger
Dishonesty and Denial
Inaction
Dissatisfaction
Poor Lifestyle
Resistance to Change
If any of these resonate with you, don’t worry because you’re not alone. These 11 knots keep many of us from reaching our full potential.
An overactive DMN affects nearly everyone, but few realize its profound impact on their entire well-being.
Here’s the good news:
By understanding your DMN, you can heal your mental knots and discover freedom and happiness within. This can make you more productive, open to new experiences and relationships, and willing to thrive in life.
