Amazon.com In this age of do-it-yourself health care (heck, if the doctor only sees you for 10 minutes each visit, what other options are there?), Change Your Brain, Change Your Life fits in perfectly. Filled with "brain prescriptions" (among them cognitive exercises and nutritional advice) that are geared toward readers who've experienced anxiety, depression, impulsiveness, excessive anger or worry, and obsessive behavior, Change Your Brain, Change Your Life milks the mind-body connection for all it's worth. Written by a psychiatrist and neuroscientist who has also authored a book on attention deficit disorder, Change Your Brain contains dozens of brain scans of patients with various neurological problems, from caffeine, nicotine, and heroin addiction to manic-depression to epilepsy. These scans, often showing large gaps in neurological activity or areas of extreme overactivity, are downright frightening to look at, and Dr. Amen should know better than to resort to such scare tactics. But he should also be commended for advocating natural remedies, including deep breathing, guided imagery, meditation, self-hypnosis, and biofeedback for treating disorders that are so frequently dealt with by prescription only.
Product Description BRAIN PRESCRIPTIONS THAT REALLY WORK In this breakthrough bestseller, you'll see scientific evidence that your anxiety, depression, anger, obsessiveness, or impulsiveness could be related to how specific structures in your brain work. You're not stuck with the brain you're born with. Here are just a few of neuropsychiatrist Dr. Daniel Amen's surprising--and effective--"brain prescriptions" that can help heal your brain and change your life: To Quell Anxiety and Panic: Use simple breathing techniques to immediately calm inner turmoil To Fight Depression: Learn how to kill ANTs (automatic negative thoughts) To Curb Anger: Follow the Amen anti-anger diet and learn the nutrients that calm rage To Conquer Impulsiveness and Learn to Focus: Develop total focus with the "One-Page Miracle" To Stop Obsessive Worrying: Follow the "get unstuck" writing exercise and learn other problem-solving exercises

Disappointing September 8, 2008 Ruth B. Roufberg (New Jersey, USA) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this book for my husband at his request, after having seen the author on television. He assumed the book would give specific instructions for improving his memory and other brain functions, but found it too full of generalizations. He threw out the book. Ruth Roufberg
Amazing book. September 7, 2008 Bonnie Blackwell (Seattle, WA, USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is the most fantastic book I've read on this subject. It has helped me understand my own brain chemistry issues, as well as helping my family and friends understand what I have been experiencing.
change your brain change your life September 6, 2008 Elisabeth S. Kuo (CA) This is a must read book, it gives a good understanding on how our brain work and how it affects our behavior. It'll help us understand people around us and their behavior, at some point may need to seek treatment.
not finished but fine book thus far September 6, 2008 Richard C. Nickeson (sun city center, FL) 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
i would prefer to review it after I have finished but like it as far as I have read. Am on vacation now thanks for your quick service
Helpful insight to anyone with depression September 4, 2008 A. E. Moring (chicago, il usa) Though this sometimes gets quite clinical, the patient examples bring home much insight on how your brain functions... and helps you to function. I would recommend this for anyone who battles with depression / ocd or any other function of 'normal' daily life that they struggle to control.
