Amazon.com Review
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

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:

5 out of 5 stars Exceeded my expectations!   October 10, 2008
A magnificent piece of work! Full of valuable information and exercises you can do to help yourself. I am a retired Clinical Psychologist and if I were still in practice I would give a copy of this book to all my patients!
Thank you Dr. Amen for a wonderful contribution to the mental health and
happiness of millions of people that will benefit from reading your book!
Whoever reads this, do yourself a favor and get a copy! You won't regret it!!!! Dr. Boris V. Camacho-Vega Ps.D.



3 out of 5 stars OK but not what expected   October 10, 2008
Interesting book. Not quite what I expected though. Lots of case studies and descriptions of what medications he prescribed.
I hoped for more on the natural side of how to improve your brain, eg: Diet,- but it dosen't touch on that too much except to mention that we need high protein/low-carb. If you have a specific ailment and are looking for info on how to treat it then this is a good book for you. Also, it does touch on how music and goal-setting can be good for brain health. I found this helpful. But the bulk of the book is case studies and what prescription meds he issued! I don't regret buying it even though I think it could heave been better: ie, - more in-depth info on the natural side of things like music, diet, smells, natural remedies... and less on prescription meds.



5 out of 5 stars Learn "how to" handle life hecklers   October 10, 2008
I have known and loved my husband for 44 yrs. This book defined solutions for behavioral concerns time has wrought. First, thank goodness, second other examples that didn't look for help where relationships were let go instead of solved. The vow we took was for better or worse, come for answers and solutions. Great insight of our human race we take for granted and solutions for remaining human. We are together with the diagnosis and solved our "differences" with 'change your brain change your life'. Examples of circumstance and real life examples are given as well in the book. A person fell off a ladder and one year later a family dispersed, not necessary- this book can save lives and all that goes with this life.


5 out of 5 stars Fascinating   October 6, 2008
The author uses brain scans and other tools from nuclear medicine to discuss common emotional issues such as anxiety, impulsiveness, anger, etc. The author's prescriptions have been cited by many experts but as far as I know, have not been linked to the various brain scans, which are compelling. This book is excellent. I believe it should be read in conjunction with Optimal Thinking: How to Be Your Best Self which explains what each emotion means, and provides questions to accept, understand and best resolve them. Read both books.


5 out of 5 stars Good book for alternative views on Anxiety etc...   October 5, 2008
Good book for alternative views on Anxiety etc... I thught the books was pretty eye opening, whether you agree with the "mainstream" or the "outside the box" evaluatons it's good to get both sides of the story and make a judgement on your own. I give the book 5 stars.
