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?), IChange Your Brain, Change Your Life/I 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, IChange Your Brain, Change Your Life/I milks the mind-body connection for all it's worth. p Written by a psychiatrist and neuroscientist who has also authored a book on attention deficit disorder, IChange Your Brain/I 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.

Loved this book! December 5, 2008
Very good book. I'd say it's a message everyone can grab hold of because it gives you something concrete to focus on. I'd compare it to the way bio-feedback works.br /br /This book is a good way to occupy your time.br /br /Jane Stevensbr /Tao Cycle Therapy: Natural Happiness via Self Directed Cure for Chronic Anxiety Depression [Updated 2008 3nd Edition]

Good stuff from the Amen December 4, 2008
(This is going to have to be short for now, it's getting late) Excellent book once again by the good doctor. The changing your brain message is certainly a winner. As always, a fairly easy read and thoughtful message. I'll add more later.br /br /-Sarah Shikitao-Brown,br /Tao Cycle Therapy: Natural Happiness via Self Directed Cure for Chronic Anxiety Depression [Updated 2008 3nd Edition]

Get Help With Insight From This Book December 2, 2008
This is a good overview of how certain parts of the brain can affect your actions and moods. Each chapter about a part of the brain is followed by recommendations to improve the brain's function and in turn your life. br /br /Yes, one recommendation is usually medication, but the other 10 or so can easily be incorporated into your life. If you could use a little help, this book and recommendations are certainly worth the low selling price. br /br /Enjoy and good luck.

well-organized December 2, 2008
Change Your Brain, Change Your Life contains much information. It is good to read the whole book, but then you must choose which parts apply to you. Each chapter has symptoms, medications and alternative aids. You decide. It has been very helpful.

In the process... November 29, 2008
This book was recommended by a friend who had brain surgery. I am trying to recover from a traumatic brain injury. This book, though very technical, has given me practical ways to help change areas of my thinking and move forward with my healing. br /I highly recommend this book for recovering brain injured patients, drug addicts, thinking disorders, or if you just need to adjust your thinking. br /It also explains the importance of the bonding processes in children. Great book for teachers and/or parents.
