Editorial Review: 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 From the Trade Paperback edition. 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.

 Rating:  - Great cdThis is a CD that everyone should own. A lot of good infomation that will make you think. I saw the author on our local PBS station and was impressed. Rating: - a two star review of a four star bookI usually put forth a pretty decent effort when I bother to write a review, but I'm just going to be honest and warn you ahead of time that this is will be a marginal critique. To begin with, while I have actually read the book through twice, complete with underlining and marking important items, I have forgotten nearly everything I read. That may speak as much to the book as to me- it may have been better as a little less of an ambitious work, especially if the reader is meant to follow through ... Read More Rating: - InterestingIt's a prescription drug culture. Change Your Brain, Change Your Life by Daniel G. Amen tries to help people through meditation not medication. Other remedies he suggests are self-hypnosis and biofeedback, herbal remedies and dietary supplements among others. The book will give the reader many insights into the depths of the human brain. Don't be afraid trust in God where there life there's hope. By the way, I see from reading the reviews on this site some people have recommend my book, "The Enlightenment, ... Read More Rating:  - Worth the quick readI know something is going on in my brain due to migraines and other symptons. It is a good book to begin asking questions but not really to treat yourself- whereas after the PBS program I had some ideas to experiment with. I recognized a family member in one of the cases, so it filled me with compassion as well. Rating:  - one purpose: to trick people inthe purpose of this book is to trick gullible desperate uninformed people into visiting one of the amen clinics where they will get ripped off shamelessly. the book offers no practical solutions to "changing one's brain". the author talks about scanning people's brains in his extremely expensive clinic and indirectly claims that visiting other psychiatrists is not quite as effective because they don't actually look at your brain, like Amen does, therefore, they can't treat properly. He doesn't disclose, however, ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
