Publisher Description
It all starts with your brain: how you think, how you feel, how you interact with others, and how well you succeed in realizing your goals and dreams. When your brain works right, so do you. When it’s out of balance, you feel frustrated, or worse. Yet amid all the advice that bombards us daily about how to keep the rest of our body strong and healthy, we hear very little about how to keep the most complex and magnificent organ of all—the human brain—in top working order. Based on the most up-to-date research, as well as on Dr. Daniel Amen’s more than twenty years of treating patients at the Amen Clinics, where he and his associates pioneered the use of brain imaging in clinical practice, Magnificent Mind at Any Age does exactly that. Dr. Amen shows how many of the traditional approaches to overcoming the mind-centered challenges that hold us back—try harder, work longer, find the sheer willpower—either do not work or may make our problems worse. The true key to satisfaction and success at any age is a healthy brain. By optimizing our brain function we can all develop these qualities of a magnificent mind enjoyed by the world’s most successful and happiest people: • Increased memory and concentration • The ability to maintain warm and satisfying relationships • Undiminished sexual desire and performance • Goal-oriented perseverance • Better impulse control and mastery over potential addictions • Free-flowing creativity and the ability to relax and enjoy life’s pleasures To achieve this, as Dr. Amen explains here in clearly accessible language, we have a range of options available, including proper diet, natural supplements and vitamins, exercise, positive thinking habits, and, if needed, medication. In addition to revealing how we can all take advantage of such strategies to enjoy the benefits of a balanced and healthy brain at every stage of our lives, Dr. Amen also pinpoints specific ways to tailor behavior, nutrition, and lifestyle to deal effectively with common mental challenges such as memory problems, anxiety and depression, attention deficit disorder, and insomnia. Whether you’re in the midst of a demanding career or are looking forward to an active and richly rewarding retirement, Magnificent Mind at Any Age can give you the edge you need to live every day to your fullest potential.

"I don't usually enjoy books with such a technical nature, but due to my mother's dementia, I wanted to become more informed on the intricacies of the brain. I hope to avoid such brain disorders. Dr. Amen also goes into ADHD and bipolar disorder with some great suggestions for natural help through herbs, vitamins, diet and etc. If your looking for information of this nature, it is a great resource."

" Everyone should read this book!! "

" Mind and soul relaxation "
— Mary, 2/7/2014 -
" I only got through 2/5 of this self help book, which was 2/5 too much time invested. It's been over three years since I haven't been able to finish a book, as I keep on thinking it's going to get better. At one point I thought, maybe I'd like it better, if I just picked out sections that pertained to me. However, when I read about the, "well designed study" of 13 patients, I thought differently. I don't care how well designed a study is, if you have so few participants how can one but question the author's methodology? Don't think I've had such strong negative feelings about a book since Home. "

" What I like about Amen's books is that they are extremely practical and applicable. There are a number of repeat passages in his books, but each has something new to offer. All of it is very readable, and highly interesting. "

" This was an ok book. Felt like I was re-reading some material that you see in other places. It was interesting to see his take on recommendations on some supplements. "
— Terri, 8/18/2011 -
" I really like the cover of this book. However, looks can be very deceiving. The book is a repeat of all the other self-help books out there with a little bit of a scientific twist. The repetition of the same ideas, along with some very strange religious, make the book rather dull. "
