MUST HAVE!

This is among my top 5 most recommended books of all time!! Readable, simple and comprehensive..I have devoured it several times over. I have a better sense of self-awareness and can pro-actively work *with* my doctors instead of feeling like a guinea pig. Many options beside meds are listed including nutritional and interpersonal relationship skills. I am learning how to support others without taking on thier problems. I am so glad I found this book!

Fascinating Science

Most books on this subject are very dry and clinical. Daniel Amen inserts some humor into this very serious subject. I have read articles about Daniel Amen saying he is a quack simply because other professionals have not adopted his mantra that mental health issues are caused by physical problems in the brain. Change Your Brain Change Your Life identifies the component parts of the brain and maladies caused by overactive or under active functioning of the component parts. Dr. Amen prescribes remedies from diet changes to cognitive therapy to psychotropic drug therapy in an informative, thought provoking, easy to read format. This book is an enlightening account of the brain and its functions.

Essential Peak Performance Information for Your Personal & Professional Life

Dr. Amen's book is a superb resource filled with exceptional information, tools, and techniques for personal and professional transformation.

The 21st century world we live in is extremely stressful: physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Our bodies, minds, hearts, and spirits are stressed to the extreme on a daily basis by an increasingly toxic environment. Ironically, because of the human nervous system's remarkable capacity to adapt, when you experience significant continuing stress you become acclimated to the point where living in stress is felt as 'normal'. But 'normal' doesn't necessarily mean 'natural'. As a result, millions of people are quite unaware of just how deeply stressed they are until it's too late and they lapse into serious mental or physical illness. Many others aware of their high stress level, simply endure their situation with quiet desperation or, worse, self-medicate with short term solutions such as drugs, alcohol, junk food, etc., that have long term negative effects.

If only folks knew there are simple things one can do to change and enjoy their life a great deal more.

Enter 'Change Your Brain, Change Your Life'. It is filled with fascinating and easy to understand information about biochemistry, neuroanatomy, nutrition, supplementation, and rapid cognitive-behavioral (RCBT) mental rescripting techniques to help you along in your journey to greater health and well-being.

As a professional life and business coach, I recommend this title to all of my clients, and I recommend it to you wholeheartedly.

Dr. Amen's book, 'Healing The Hardware Of the Soul' is also highly recommended for those with a more spiritual inclination.

Happy reading!

Helpful for Neurofeedback Practioners and Clients

I have found this book to be a great resource for me as a neurofeedback clinician, both for my own use and my clients'. It's easy to read, has lots of SPECT images to reference, and provides helpful checklists for various behaviors associated with problems in different brain regions. Dr. Amen is a rarity in the psychiatric profession in that he's open to looking outside the box and being open to various treatment methods beyond simply writing prescriptions. While he does discuss the benefits of medication a lot in this book, he also mentions neurofeedback training several times as well and provides many cognitive behavioral techniques to aid with various issues.
