Hosein Kouros-Mehr, MD, PhD is an author and physician-scientist who has spent over two decades in cancer research and drug development.

Thanks to his background, Hosein recognized the extraordinary ramifications of a recent scientific discovery: the default mode network (DMN), which encodes the human ego and influences our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Recognizing the profound impact of this breakthrough on self-understanding (both from clinical and personal experience), he wrote Break Through: Master Your Default Mode and Thrive to help readers master the DMN and live happier, more fulfilling lives.

An avid reader and student of science, philosophy, and religion, Hosein draws on a depth of understanding from medical science, neuroscience, Buddhism, Judeo-Christian teachings, and ancient philosophy. Break Through connects the medical and spiritual realms to help readers unlock health and well-being and awaken their higher self, opening the doors to new possibilities and experiences.

Hosein is also the author of two novels, Extinction 6 and Project Bodi: Awaken the Power of Insight, that explore how mindfulness cultivates insights and scientific innovation. He lives in Los Angeles, California, with his wife and children.

3 Top Tips 

For many people, addiction is driven by a rewired brain where there is little conscious control over decisions.

The first step in the healing process is INTENTION–the decision to want a happier, healthier life.

The other steps in the process–surrender, insight, and the journey–are at the heart of both religious and non-religious based healing practices. These steps are also backed by emerging scientific studies into the nature of the mind. 

Look after yourself and live with intention!
