From Automatic Reactions to Intentional Living
Through real-life stories and practical neuroscience, discover how to change the patterns shaping your thoughts, behaviors, and relationships.
They are patterns the brain has learned through repetition — and the brain remains capable of change throughout our lives.
Years ago, Nancy started noticing the ways she reacted that didn't reflect who she wanted to be. She got defensive when she felt criticized. She replayed conversations for days. When things were uncertain, she assumed the worst.
She wasn't choosing those reactions consciously — her brain was doing exactly what brains do: repeating familiar patterns it had practiced for years. What she learned through neuroscience, coaching, and her own life is that those patterns are not permanent. They can be recognized, interrupted, and rebuilt.
Reframe combines brain science, practical tools, and true stories to help you recognize, interrupt, and rebuild the patterns shaping your thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. The result isn't just clearer thinking — it's greater freedom in how you respond, and the joy of living a life you've actually chosen.
A practical framework for changing the patterns that run on autopilot.
Nancy Post has spent a lifetime helping people see possibilities in themselves. She combines neuroscience, leadership, and deeply personal stories, reminding us that our past does not have to define our future.
Reframe shows how rumination becomes rehearsal and how some of our deepest values may be inherited rather than chosen. Nancy Post turns neuroscience into questions worth sitting with.
I couldn't stop reading Reframe. Nancy Post explains how our brains develop patterns and how we can intentionally change them. Anyone who wants to make positive changes in life will benefit from this book.
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.

Nancy spent 28 years at John Deere, a Fortune 100 company, rising to Vice President of Embedded Software and Solutions — leading the largest team in the Chief Technology Organization, 2,500+ people globally. Today she is a Senior Advisor at Boston Consulting Group and coaches Fortune 500 leaders through transformation.
The youngest of fifteen children, she learned early how people think, change, and show up for one another — and the wisdom of that family runs throughout this book. She writes about the science of the brain the way she has always understood it: through the lives of real people.
