Sharie Spironhi, renowned Motivational Speaker, Educator, Counselor and Author of ‘Why We Are Wired to Worry and How Neuroscience Will Help You Fix It’, is an undisputed expert in human behavioral science, who has dedicated her life to helping people get off their Worry-Go-Round™

Inspired by her overnight defeat of Bi-Polar disorder, Sharie is a living example of neuroplasticity (the brain’s ability to change and heal) as exemplified in her compelling story of living with Manic Depression since a child and having it disappear literally over night, due to the brain's ability to rewire itself.

For the last 19 years Sharie has explored every new discovery in neuroscience to help explain why our brains seem obsessed with problems, both real and imagined. Believe it or not, it’s not your fault—it’s your default! Since the beginning of mankind, our brains have been programmed to believe that impending doom is around every corner due to an outdated evolutionary trait that helped ancient humans survive. But in today’s world, this program is not only obsolete, it is making us sick! Just imagine never depending on external circumstances for your sense of happiness again! When you learn these techniques you will fee like you won the emotional lottery!

Sharie’s career began over 25 years ago teaching and lecturing in high schools and colleges to help students better understand their own behavior. Simultaneously she co-produced the David Toma show on WOR and in 1991 founded a drug treatment center in Tecate Mexico, all by the age of 27, But soon after she faced her biggest challenge when she was diagnosed as a Rapid Cycling Manic Depressive. Her incredible career and intense engaging energy being fueled by her manic states now brought her life to a screeching halt. Until one evening on March 31st 1996 at the end of her rope she dared to believe what others said was impossible and science had yet to fully comprehend. 

19 years later she is better, brighter and stronger than ever before, Sharie’s new book Why We Are Wired To Worry and How Neuroscience Will Help You Fix It’, explores cutting-edge discoveries in neuroscience, psychology, and mindfulness alongside explaining how three neurochemicals and the brain’s amygdala steer all human behaviors, habits, passions, and attitudes. Because of her unique understanding and insight she has developed techniques and tools that teach people how to go from chasing “being happy” to finally “feeling a happiness” that is no longer reliant on your external experiences.
