This is a very informative book, but the diet advice is not as comprehensive as I would have liked.

Reading this book really helped me understand how important serotonin is in maintaining a happy, healthy attitude toward life. It is written very well for regular people like to to understand. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to help themselves, for a better attitude, helping maintain weight and any pain issues.

For those who eat mostly processed and fast foods by Carlos

I was disappointed in this book, hoping for something to help my wife who is on Prozac for waking her brain up as she is recovering from a major hemmorhaggic stroke. This book is good for people who don't realize how profoundly their diet effects all aspects of their health. But there are no "secrets" revealed, and no magic relief for my wife.

One of the Best Books of Its Kind

The scientific explanations are crystal clear, the advice thoughtful and lucid, and the writing exemplary. This is an excellent book about the mysterious chemistry of the brain and how naturally to enhance your levels of serotonin.

Congrats on a good review of this neurotransmitter that is so key in so much of how we behave, and which can be influenced by so many things around us. Nice focus. Recommend "The Care and Feeding of Your Brain" for a general view of all things that affect the brain and behavior...Kenneth Giuffre MD
