Cognitive Dominance: The Book

Still available on Amazon:

"Cognitive Dominance: A Brain Surgeon's Quest to Out-Think Fear" has been a labor of love. I'm pleased to announce that it's now available. I hope you enjoy it and that you find it valuable.

As we approach the fifth anniversary of publication, I am humbled by the response of so many. While it was never expected that it would become a "best seller" to the world at large, it's incredibly gratifying to learn of the impact the book has had on so many of you.

Sincerely
Mark
