Your brain learned these patterns. It can learn new ones.

Through real-life stories and practical neuroscience, discover how to change the patterns shaping your thoughts, behaviors, and relationships.

Much of what we do happens automatically. Our brains build pathways from repeated thoughts, emotions, and experiences, then rely on those pathways to help us respond quickly. A sharp comment lands, and before you've thought it through, you're defensive. A piece of feedback arrives, and you're already building your case against it. These automatic reactions are meant to protect us. But they can also keep us stuck, pulling us away from the people we want to be and the lives we want to create.

In REFRAME, Nancy Post makes the science of the brain understandable and useful. Drawing on more than 35 years of Fortune 100 engineering and leadership experience, training in neuroscience-based coaching, and the lessons of growing up the youngest of 15 children, she explores why we:

  • Become defensive and misread one another
  • Resist constructive feedback
  • Repeat unhelpful, automatic habits
  • Act against what matters most to us

Each of the book's 14 chapters combines brain science with honest stories and practical reflection, giving you the tools to recognize the patterns driving your reactions and build new ones with intention.

Understanding your brain will not eliminate difficult moments. It gives you greater choice in how you respond.  

Industry Reviews

One of the most hopeful messages in Reframe is also one of the most powerful: the story of who we are is still being written. Nancy Post shows us how understanding our brains can help us move beyond old patterns and intentionally create greater confidence, connection, clarity, and joy.

-Tony Thelen, Founder, The River Coaching & Consulting, and author of Things We Desire - The Desiderata turns 100

Two ideas from Reframe have stuck with me: that rumination is really rehearsal - the brain practicing exactly what we don't want to repeat - and that some of our deepest 'values' are patterns we inherited rather than values we chose. Nancy Post turns neuroscience into questions worth sitting with.

-Susan Finerty, Author of Master the Matrix and Cross-Functional Influence

Reframe is an engaging blend of neuroscience, personal stories, and practical wisdom. Nancy Post takes complex ideas about how our brains work and makes them understandable, memorable, and immediately applicable. I learned a great deal, found myself thinking deeply about the concepts, and will keep this book as a reference. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to create lasting positive change.

Reframe is a practical guide to becoming the person you want to be. Nancy combines memorable stories, accessible neuroscience, and actionable insights that help readers better understand their reactions, strengthen relationships, and intentionally align their behavior with their values.
