If you really want to reset your brain I highly recommend doing a 10-day vipassana meditation retreat (see: dhamma.org). They are free and not affiliated with any religion, but you can't read or write or talk for 10 days. They teach you to meditate during this time.
I did this with my wife last year. I'm CTO and co-founder of a startup, so I had to plan many months in advance, knowing that no one would be able to get in touch with me during this time.
It was really difficult, but a great opportunity to grow and learn to meditate. I didn't realize how much of my own opinion and views of myself have to do with communicating with others. When communicating with others, their responses to you add to your definition of yourself. And when you don't have that for 10 days, your self starts to disappear. It was pretty awesome and interesting. I think everyone should try it.
