It’s very simple: when our brains work right, we work right—and when our brains have trouble, we have trouble in our lives.Luckily, it’s never too late: the brain is capable of change, and when you care for it, the results are amazing.

I had read about this book for a long time and could hardly wait to get my hands on it. I loved it and have now passed it around to everyone in my family. Dr. Amen makes so much sense and gives you the tools to empower yourself.

It sounds wonderful....but a lot is hard to do by 70's Lady (New Mexico)

I'm in my 70's so I find some things in the book hard to do. Exercise is limited to physical conditions for one. Getting the right foods is another. Everyone is not able to put forth the money for all the 'fresh' vegetables as noted in the book. How about my Green tea? Whoops, caffene. In this day and finacial availibility some things are NOT possible. I'm a fairly intelligent, artistic person. I read ALOT, work all kinds of puzzles, paint, draw, sew and etc. I love to cook and bake. Now this book says not any of the good sweet baking things the kids used to run home for after school. An era has passed when we all grew up to be 'old'. Time for all the younger generation to grow up in a world of pollution and contamination of air, water and ground. This is the cause for most of the non-functioning bodies in this world. With this book nows the time to try to correct your brain. Follow the advice to the BEST OF YOUR ABILITY, nothing will be perfect, so don't think it will be. This may all put you in a down mood, but it is life not fantasy. Enjoy the book, I did. I learned a lot and you will too.

This book is highly informative and helpful. Dr. Amen knows the brain in a very complete way, and instructs us how to protect, heal and sustain our brains. Since the brain is our main organ of thought and bodily control, this book ends up teaching us much about the human as a whole.

The CD's arrived amazingly fast and in perfect condition. The information was very helpful. I need to listen to them again as it's hard to write good notes while listening. That's why I bought the book too. This is filled with information for a large variety of concerned people. I will invest in more of Dr Amens work.
