PROFESSIONAL ENDORSEMENTS:Michelle Steffes’ book
The Machine Inside Me is one of the most effective books I’ve read on the power of reframing thoughts and rewiring the mind. Remarkably,
The Machine Inside Me can be effectively used with both adults and children because of its simple and practical presentation. I recommend it for counselors, therapists, educators, parents, grandparents, employers, ministry workers, health providers and anyone else who wants to learn how to guide our children to learning how to heal their brain by reframing negative thoughts and transforming their thinking.

I had the privilege of reading this GAME-CHANGING book for children. Wow! The Machine Inside of Me teaches children about the amazing and powerful things their brains can do and how. It teaches children to navigate their own emotional triggers and employ self-leadership skills. This is what makes a strong, confident adult. Based on settled brain science, I have SEEN first-hand this information change lives. Education/Information are the key and THIS book is a great place to start.

The Machine Inside of Me gives children and adolescents enmeshed in negative self-talk an understanding of how such thoughts impact the wiring of their brains. Michelle Steffes uses kid-friendly imagery and vocabulary to make sense of the role hormones can play in either perpetuating or reducing negative thought cycles. Best of all, she leads readers through simple yet powerful exercises and activities to help them make new habits that lead to improved mental health. If you love children who are struggling with unresolved trauma, depression, or anxiety, get them this book.
