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.

I find the book CHANGE YOUR BRAIN, CHANGE YOUR LIFE so impressive that I plan to buy more copies to give to family and friends. Dr. Amen includes sound, verifiable medical research about the complex human brain that is easily understood by laypeople, such as I. He identifies many common but burdensome conditions such as ADD, OCD, Worry, Anxiety, Fear, Motivation, Control, etc. along with more complex mental diseases and offers concrete recommendations. The strategies for killing ANTS (Automatic Negative Thoughts) are excellent. Other techniques are life-enriching. I highly recommend this book for family concerns, educators (my field), and obviously, medical professionals. He writes with personal observations and gracious understanding.

Really good book. Gives the lay person some hope to be able to help themselves. by fourbluesixpink (Minnesota)

I found this book fascinating and interesting. It gave me a much better understanding of why some people act the way they do, and even suggests ways you can help yourself to move out of your issues without medication from a physician.
