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

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.

- chenistry and the brain
Clearly writtern for people who are concerned about mental health issues for themselves or those they love. Case studies and photographic evidence helps to explain some pshychological problems without any stigma or weakness of character BS. I do wish that the book was less drug cure oriented. I guess excercise and diet can only do so much.

- Wish I'd Known 30 years Ago
I'd seen Dr.Amen's special on PBS after which I purchased this book. I've always known that there was something about my personality that was in a sense "broken" and that I had some sort of learning disability, although that tern hadn't even beened coined when I was a child. Dr. Amen has a great ability to put what is a complicated subject into very easily understood laymen's terms and the personal stories of his patents were eye opening. The story of Jamie on page 139 so closely parrelled my family life, that I felt he had written about me. I was able to understand for the first time why I grew up the way I did, why my mother was the way she was and why to this day, I continue to struggle with certain aspects of my personality. I only wish that I'd known this information 30 years ago. However, I'm hopeful that this book will be the catalyst that I need to change MY brain in order to change my life. Keep up ... Read More

- Fabulous book
This is a most helpful book. It is the only real help I have found on a most complex and difficult subject. What a revelation to find useful information for a lay person to use to help themselves and loved ones. His ideas are simply explained and extremely useful and, best of all, they work. I highly recommend this book.
