What if changing your life begins with changing the way you think?

Maureen Chiana is an author, neuroleadership facilitator and emotional intelligence specialist who brings together neuroscience, emotional intelligence and Scripture to help people renew their minds, overcome limiting beliefs and create lasting change. Her book, “Rewire Your Brain with Neuroscience and Scripture Every Day”, is a 366-day guide that explores the fascinating connection between the brain, our thoughts, emotions, behaviour and biblical principles for renewing the mind. Her newly released companion workbook takes readers from understanding to action. Through practical daily exercises and weekly reviews, readers learn to recognise unhelpful patterns, practise new responses, build healthier habits and track their progress. Designed to be used together, the books equip individuals, churches, book clubs and groups to pursue meaningful transformation through daily practice and shared accountability.

Meet Maureen at the Oxford Indie Book Fair, explore her books and discover how neuroscience and Scripture can transform the way you think, live and grow.
