Overview
Based on more than a decade of research and findings by Dr. Mark Baldwin of Montreal's renowned McGill University, MindHabits presents simple and fun challenges that can help you improve your state of mind.
These scientifically designed training challenges, along with measurement tools, help you gain and maintain a more positive frame of mind. In one challenge, for example, you must find the smiling faces in a crowd of frowns, which studies have shown can help train your mind to react to positive information. Similarly, word challenges associate certain concepts with your own personal words, reinforcing positive personal associations and activating positive patterns of thought.

Great Program!

I used the program on-line until a Mac version was (finally) released and noted measurable improvement in mood and confidence. My only complaint is that the program tends to run slowly on my 1 ghz PPC TiBook -- so slowly, in fact, that I cannot advance beyond level 13 (the computer does not recognize my inputs fast enough in this timed "game" to allow me to accumulate a high enough score to advance to the next level despite rebooting and killing all non-essential processes). My TiBook is nearly six (6) years old, so I can't really blame the publisher. …More
