Change Your Brain, Change Your Life: The Breakthrough Program for Conquering Anxiety, Depression, Obsessiveness, Anger, and Impulsiveness Audiobook

" This is the book most often stolen from my office shelf by a colleague. Dr. Daniel Amen sits at the forefront of the SPECT scan work being done to study the likes of ADD, depression, drug abuse, anxiety, etc on the brain. What is most helpful to me about this book is that Dr. Amen is quick to offer other "prescriptions" for the problems mentioned above that do not require medication. This has helped me talk to clients who aren't comfortable with running straight to the psychiatrist. "

" This book helped me to see myself and how my brain really might be causing some of my problems. The great thing about the book is he not only tells you what part of your brain causes what problems but he makes practical suggestions on how you can improve. He is against the legalization of marijuana from seeing brain specs of people who use. So people who say it doesn't hurt you he has the pictures to show what it does. He has this idea he calls ANT ( automatic negative thoughts) and tells you how to stamp those ants out. It has helped me so far that I have tried it. "

" thought it would be interesting. it was interesting enough to read through a 200+ page commercial for dr. daniel g. amen. just don't read it. "

" Interesting, Easy to read. Compelling. Dr. Amen has studied brain scans of hundreds of thousands of people and he sees direct correlations between brain scans (showing brain activity and inactivity) and peoples mental, emotional problems, from ADD, depression, drug-use, schizophrenia, brain trauma . . . to whatever. He shows also how these problems have been treated and for the most part cured with a mix of help . . .medication, supplements, neurofeedback, etc. He's a very positive, it-can-work read. I would have given it three stars, but . . . I'm not sure. It's worth reading as part of a complete education on the topic. I plan on reading a lot more. "

" Fifi this is a good one also "

" This book explores the brain in easy to understand language. Good read for anyone dealing with depression or PTSD. "

" The thing that bugs me about Dr. Amen is that I feel like the only way I'll get the help I need is if I go to him and submit to one of his brain scans. :) Still, very informative. The brain is fascinating. "

" A very interesting and thought provoking insight into the way our brain works and how we can manipulate it. "

" its true! "

" I learned more in this book than I did in my psych classes and bio/ anatomy and physiology classes. It all makes sense. 5 put of 5 "

" Excellent reference book. Highly readable. Provides scientific evidence that [ :] anxiety, depression, anger, obsessivenesss, or impulsiveness could be related to how specific structures in your brain work. "

" I'e read a few chapters and now I want to rad the whole book. Fascinating. "

" an amazing explanation of why we are the way we are "

" helps me everyday "

" Kitapta, en onemli organimiz beynimizi ve dolayisiyla kendinizi daha iyi tanimak ve saglikli olmak adina bircok bilgi var.Oneririm "

" This was fascinating! "

" Loved it ~ lots of useful stuff! "

" A great self help book, worth reading. "

" I found most of this book fascinating! Right after I had my first 2 kids I had a little postpartum anxiety and depression. I wanted to read this book to get some coping strategies in case I get it again after this baby. "

" I LOVE DR. DANIEL AMEN!!! His videos on PBS are quite pricey, but very funny and informative! You'll enjoy it. "

" Maybe it's just me, but I found this book a little too complicated. Too much science not enough practical advice. "

" Yep. Sure. I'm sort of stuck on this new-wave of brain theories. But, this book is probably the least of them. "

" I saw this author on PBS and I was really interested in the subject. Since I am trying to be healthier diabetic, I thought his ideas would help me. Although many of you are young, it is not a bad idea to do some of his suggestions now before old age sets in. The author is a clinical neuroscientist. "

" What's all this crap about "I'm too old to learn a new language or change a habit". Not me!! This book has helped me move from being a victim to moving back to my usual vibrant self! "

" SPECT - a diagnostic tool. Will most likely be taken totally for granted in the future, but for now it's mostly unheard of. The more accurate the diagnosis - the better the treatment. "

" Interesting research and conclusions about the brain-body connection. I skimmed much of this book as it was repetitious, but still gained some insights beneficial to me. "

" This book has influenced me and the way I see others and thier behaviors more than any book other than the scriptures. Every person should read it. It si so well written and I could never say enough good about it. Just pick it up and read it. "

" I love this book and I refer back to it several times a month. "

" If you like to self-diagnose your own neuroses, as I do, this is quite interesting. I'm going to read Change Your Brain, Change Your Body next. I wish I could give it 3 1/2 stars. "

" Now I realize the importance of protecting our brains and getting adequate sleep and exercize. "

" I am loving this book. It is helping me understand what is going on in my brain on a physical level and how I can use that knowledge to deal with many different issues. "

" Interesting ideas on how the brain works. Worth reading and thinking about. "

" This was a great book, lots of good information on keeping your brain (and body) young and healthy. "
