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
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

- Fascinating
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 ... Read More
Rating: - Good book for alternative views on Anxiety etc...
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.
Rating: - Freedom from Negativity
This fascinating book is filled with scientific proof that our thoughts directly affect our physical, mental and
spiritual lives. Thoughts release a chemical reaction that is directly linked to our deep limbic system, the part of our brain that allows us to experience and express emotion. Through the use of imaging technology Dr. Amen shows us what a healthy brain looks like, and compares it to pictures of a myriad of disorders such as ADD, Alzheimer's, and depression. These brain pictures ... Read More
Rating: - Changed by Life!!
This book changed my paradigm on life or "lense" through which I view it and everything to do with all aspects of life. Even if this is just to understand these conditions to help you with loved ones, if you have any of these conditions, or just want to become more informed & compassionate about mental health & brain physiology this is the right book for you. Instead of sending it to all my friends and family, I bought them their own copy as I refer back to it often & will have a permanent place on ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent book
I purchased this book after seeing Dr. Amen on PBS. I read it straight through and found it extremely insightful and informative. Both of my kids have ADD and I am encouraging them to read it.
