How to Hack Back Your Mind: Reclaim Control Over Your Life

Rate this book
Negativity is not a character trait; it is the accumulation of damaging thoughts and emotions such as fear, worry, stress, and powerlessness over an extended period of treasured time.

Our minds often get programmed to steal what is most valuable to us - time, inspiration, optimal performance, and goal achievement.

Changing these patterns is the most valuable investment that big companies seek, often without realizing it. And this is a global phenomenon.

When Ramzi Najjar, a multi-award-winning bestselling author, changed his life by transforming his overthinking and controlling his mind through the knowledge he shared in his library of four acclaimed books, things changed. He wondered if others could benefit from what he had discovered. So, he decided to share all his insights in books, passing on the extensive knowledge he had gained to help others.

The good news is that his latest literary work, HOW TO HACK BACK YOUR MIND, offers a proven plan to change negative patterns and overthinking, allowing individuals to reboot their lives and transform this super problem into a superpower.

When we do not control our negative thoughts, they control us. And if our lives are already filled with broken people, thoughts, and emotions, we become our worst enemy, holding ourselves back from achieving what we truly desire.

The solution to our negativity lies not in disregarding it but in consciously running our minds and lives through awareness and intentional behavior rather than letting them operate on autopilot.

Everything begins to change once we learn how to deal with our subconscious minds and give our conscious minds the green light to regain control. Only then do we become our own best friends.

This newfound empowerment drives us toward achieving our goals and building ourselves on solid foundations.

Suppose you want to tap into the surprising power of the conscious versus the unconscious, relieve the burden on your shoulders, and give yourself the opportunity and time to excel, shine, and save your life. In that case, you can find unparalleled knowledge in this book to orchestrate your life and truly define yourself.

Just as one can be fearful, they can also become resilient. Just as one can doubt themselves, they can also build resilience and take charge.

Just as one falls, one can also get back up. Life is all about "can" and "will," and it requires the right knowledge to master it.

You cannot become the architect of your life without learning and gaining experience in architecture.

About the author

Ramzi Najjar

11 books221 followers
Born on July 25, 1978, in Beirut, Lebanon, Ramzi Najjar is an independent philosopher and author whose journey combines intellectual inquiry with lived experience. After completing his education at Louise Wegmann College, he earned a bachelor's degree in Political Science and Public Administration from the American University of Beirut in 2001.

Najjar’s entry into the literary world began during the global COVID-19 lockdowns in 2020—not as an aspiration but as a necessity—a calling to express what had long been forming within him. This initiation led to the publication of his first book, The YOU beyond you: The Knowledge of the Willing, a foundational work that explores perception, energetic intelligence, and the limits of the mind.

He followed this with The Ultimate Human Secrets (2021), which delved into the hidden architecture of unconscious influence and the vibrational field shaping experience. This exploration was expanded in The Echoes of Enigma (2024), a deep inquiry into the Akashic and existential nature of memory, destiny, and energetic entrapment.

Later that year, he published How to Hack Back Your Mind, offering tools for mental sovereignty, followed by Our Matrix Decoded (2025), which exposes the systems—both internal and external—that quietly manipulate perception and experience. In The Art of Pushing Forward, also released in 2025, he examined the rhythm of progress and the energetic anatomy of resistance.

It was with his final three books that Najjar fully transcended genre. In The Ego Pill, he mapped the biological, relational, and spiritual crisis of ego collapse. In WHY GOD SLEEPS WHEN WE WAKE UP, he dismantled the final illusion—the internalized need for divine authority—and revealed the stillness behind all spiritual performance. Finally, in Exit the Echo, he presented his most refined and complete philosophical statement: a confrontation with the architecture of identity, validation, and performance itself.

Together, these nine works form a cohesive body of philosophy—one not confined by the conventions of psychology, spirituality, or academic reasoning. This is neither self-help nor traditional metaphysics; it represents an entirely new genre: a post-collapse, post-performance existential clarity. It does not seek to improve the reader but aims to dismantle the very structures that created the need for improvement.

Having completed this work, Najjar has chosen to close the chapter on writing. EXIT THE ECHO stands as his final book—not due to a lack of insight, but because what remains now belongs to silence, not expression. His legacy is not a message but a mirror—one that leaves nothing left to perform.

This book is like a mental reset button. If you’ve ever felt stuck in negative thought loops or like your mind is running on autopilot, How to Hack Back Your Mind gives you the tools to break free and take control. Ramzi Najjar explains how our thoughts shape our reality and how we can reprogram our minds to be more intentional, focused, and in control of our emotions.

What I really liked is that it’s not just vague "think positive" advice—it’s actually actionable. Najjar breaks down how the subconscious influences our daily lives and gives practical strategies for rewiring old patterns and overcoming self-doubt. It’s a mix of psychology, mindfulness, and personal growth, but in a way that’s easy to digest and apply.

The book is straightforward and doesn’t feel like a dry self-help manual. It’s engaging, to the point, and makes you question habits you didn’t even realize were holding you back. Some parts might feel a bit abstract, but if you’re open to the idea that your mindset shapes your reality, this book will resonate.

Highly recommend if you want to get out of your own head, challenge limiting beliefs, and start thinking with more clarity and purpose. It’s a wake-up call for anyone ready to take charge of their mental habits!

This book is not for the average reader. It delves deep into the workings of our conscious and subconscious minds, as well as the limitations that influence each. To truly understand it, you must read each chapter with focus, depth, and an open mind. Without this approach, its insights will elude you.
