Praise for Rewired

I’ve used Tapping myself. It’s simple, powerful, and it works. REWIRED reveals the groundbreaking science and deeply human stories behind Tapping, showing how this simple practice can unlock calm in even the busiest mind.

Hugh Jackman, Actor, Producer

Quite simply, Tapping changed my life. It is the first tool I’ve found to stop looping and stressful thoughts in their tracks. And beyond that, it has managed to undo and rewrite the programming that starts the loops in the first place. I’m a happier person because of the Ortners.

Jason Segel, actor, producer, and screenwriter

It’s rare to find a technique that is both extremely accessible and effective. It’s why I recommend that both my patients and my students read this book.

Dr. Melanie A. Gold, special lecturer, Columbia University Irving Medical Center

The state of our nervous system shapes how we lead, how we work, and how we show up for ourselves and others. REWIRED is an essential and empowering guide to building the calm, clarity, and resilience we all need.

Arianna Huffington, founder & CEO, Thrive Global

Tapping has always been my gateway to slowing down, calming my mind, and getting fully present. I relied on it throughout my 12-year MLB career, long before I understood why it worked. Thanks to the evidence the Ortners lay out in this incredible book, I now know the feeling I had was real, neurological, and spot-on. Tapping truly unlocks so much. This book is an absolute must-read.

Sean Casey, three time MLB All-Star

I’ve used Tapping for years. It’s one of my favorite ways to reset and refocus fast. Your brain and body are always in conversation. REWIRED shows how Tapping can reprogram that dialogue, quieting stress, sharpening focus, and freeing your best self to perform. It’s not just self-care. It’s neural training for modern life.

Jim Kwik, leading brain coach and New York Times best-selling author of Limitless

REWIRED breaks down the science of Tapping in a way that actually makes sense—and shows you exactly how to change the thoughts and patterns that keep holding you back. If you want emotional strength and real results, start here.

Marie Forleo, #1 New York Times best-selling author of Everything Is Figureoutable

REWIRED brings together solid science, relatable stories, and practical tapping sequences that clinicians and clients alike can put to work immediately. This is a powerful resource for real nervous-system transformation that anyone can use to genuinely transform their lives. It is an empowering roadmap for anyone ready to shift out of old patterns and into resilience.

Professor Peta Stapleton, author of The Science Behind Tapping

REWIRED is a clear, science-informed, and deeply practical road map for using Tapping to reshape the nervous system’s habitual responses to stress in everyday life, while opening the door to greater calm, confidence, and success. With a warm, conversational style, the Ortners blend research, real-world stories, and simple step-by-step practices so readers can actually 'recognize, interrupt, and rewire' not only the patterns that keep them stuck, but also the ones that are ready to grow into new strengths. It reads less like a clinical manual and more like a wise, good-humored guide at your side, making it a vital contribution to the Tapping field and a hopeful vision of what life can feel like when your nervous system is rewired for greater ease, resilience, and joy.

David Feinstein, PhD, co-author, Tapping and The Energies of Love

The Ortner siblings’ new book, REWIRED, is a comprehensive guide to using the technique of EFT Tapping to transform your life. Written in an accessible conversational style, it includes sections on Tapping Scripts, Pop-outs, Case Examples (including his own), and Core Insights at the end of each chapter. The Ortners are able to interweave the science behind EFT and the proof of its effectiveness in a way that will go down easy for the layman, yet with enough footnotes and citations for the science-minded. Complex psychological problems are skillfully untangled one layer at a time. I wish this book had been available before I retired—my patients would have loved it!

Erik Leskowitz, retired Harvard Medical School–affiliated psychiatrist
