What Leaders Are Saying About the Book
Respected voices in leadership, neuroscience, and high-performance coaching are calling You vs. Your Brain – Reclaiming Your Identity a transformative and practical guide to living authentically.
“My son Selim was literally able to rewire his negative thinking patterns using the RENEW© process! I only wish every coaching program out there was this effective!”
“RENEW© is a revolutionary process as it helps you to get in touch with your authentic story and sheds light on what is holding you back. Robert guided me to connect with my hidden story and helped me face the fears that were holding me back. My confidence levels have since risen, as has my resilience.”
“Robert Paris’ RENEW© process allows you to connect to your story to give you the structure and courage to tell it, embed it, and it soon becomes part of who you are. Leadership is a learned skill, and Robert has a wonderful structure to learn it.”
“RENEW© has had a profound effect on me. Not only does it take you through why your brain path is what it is, it tells you how you can rewire it. It’s the wave of the future in understanding how you think and why you think like you do.”

The Turning Point: Fighting Back Against My Brain
From an early age, I struggled with fatigue, setbacks, and the nagging sense that my brain was in charge—not me. I tried countless approaches to fix myself, only to realize that the problem wasn’t outside of me—it was inside my own head.
Over the years, I discovered that my brain had been shaping my reality, distorting my choices, and even hijacking my identity. Writing this book was my way of reclaiming control, proving that we are not prisoners of our brain’s wiring.
My story is proof that anyone can rise above their brain’s grip, take back their identity, and finally live with clarity, energy, and purpose.
