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.

Summary: Loved this book!
Comment: Very good book. I'd say it's a message everyone can grab hold of because it gives you something concrete to focus on. I'd compare it to the way bio-feedback works.
This book is a good way to occupy your time.

Summary: Good stuff from the Amen
Comment: (This is going to have to be short for now, it's getting late) Excellent book once again by the good doctor. The changing your brain message is certainly a winner. As always, a fairly easy read and thoughtful message. I'll add more later.

Summary: Get Help With Insight From This Book
Comment: This is a good overview of how certain parts of the brain can affect your actions and moods. Each chapter about a part of the brain is followed by recommendations to improve the brain's function and in turn your life.
Yes, one recommendation is usually medication, but the other 10 or so can easily be incorporated into your life. If you could use a little help, this book and recommendations are certainly worth the low selling price.
Enjoy and good luck.
Customer Rating:
Summary: well-organized
Comment: Change Your Brain, Change Your Life contains much information. It is good to read the whole book, but then you must choose which parts apply to you. Each chapter has symptoms, medications and alternative aids. You decide. It has been very helpful.
Customer Rating:
Summary: In the process...
Comment: This book was recommended by a friend who had brain surgery. I am trying to recover from a traumatic brain injury. This book, though very technical, has given me practical ways to help change areas of my thinking and move forward with my healing.
I highly recommend this book for recovering brain injured patients, drug addicts, thinking disorders, or if you just need to adjust your thinking.
It also explains the importance of the bonding processes in children. Great book for teachers and/or parents.
