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:

To Conquer Impulsiveness and Learn to Focus:
Develop total focus with the "One-Page Miracle"
To Stop Obsessive Worrying:

5 out of 5 stars great book   July 2, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

The information on brain function was easy to understand, and interesting. The exercise prescriptions and self-tests were very helpful. Excellent book.


4 out of 5 stars A worthwhile read, but . . .   June 28, 2008
This was a worthwhile read, but I would recommend Thinking Your Way to Better Health by Dr. Andrew Goliszek, which in my opinion offers a wealth of new information on how to use the mind-body connection for health and self-healing.


5 out of 5 stars Great book   June 20, 2008
This is an excellent book. I'm only halfway through it presently and it is the best of its type I have ever read. Anyone interested in human behavior should read Change Your Brain Change your Life.


5 out of 5 stars More Than Scans   June 6, 2008
  1 out of 2 found this review helpful

Dr. Amen's book is more than a catalog of brain scans. Yes, it has brain scans and some pretty scary ones at that. But the scans are a way to show problems in brain functioning in concrete terms. We can then recognize how anxiety, depression, OCD and even anger can influence the brain.

Thankfully Dr. Amen doesn't just stop here by showing us the problem. He presents many interesting solutions from breathing, visualization, meditation and hypnosis. This is the best part of the book: Dr. Amen offers alternative therapies that can change our brain patterns and we can see the effect of these treatments also in scans.

This is an awesome book! Even better with "Nexus" by Deborah Morrison & Arvind Singh which looks at the journey of Logan Andrews through depression and finding spiritual healing at a spiritual retreat. "Nexus" nicely compliments Dr. Amen's book in offering an experiential journey of people overcoming personal pain.

Both books are a must read for anyone looking to transform their life!



5 out of 5 stars An Important work of staggering brilliance!   June 3, 2008
  0 out of 1 found this review helpful

Dr. Amen is the real deal. He's passionate, articulate and deeply committed to the betterment of lives. I've owned this book for a number of years and believe me when I say I have more than a few books on the brain, wellness and personal improvement in every area... and Change Your Brain, Change Your LIFE is by far the most tattered, dog eared, referenced book on the shelves. I've read it over and over and referenced it many more times than that.

As an expert in nutrition and fitness who is keenly concerned and interested in the connection between mind and body I've learned volumes from this book about the correlation between what you eat, how you think, your energy, your mood, etc... in fact I've levered much of this science to help in the creation of my Premium Nutrition Shake, Full Strength and in my nutrition guidelines for energy that you'll find in Strength for Life: The Fitness Plan for the Rest of Your Life.

If you struggle with focus, have wondered if you have ADD, could use more energy or just feel like you're less "on" than you could be, don't walk... RUN to get this book and read it cover to cover, now. It's brilliant and a lifetime resource!
