My favorite Dr. Amen book

I have read several of Dr. Amen's books. Because of that the first few chapters were reveiw for me. But I think this is his most practical, helpful book yet. I recommmend it to everyone. I had no idea the power my brain's health had over my life. This book, along with the others, has helped me gain a new respect for my mind and as a result greater responsibilty for taking care of the most important human organ - our brain. I think every counselor, psychologist, etc should have Dr. Amen's books on their reading list. I even recommended it to my MD.

Dr Georgia D. Andrianopoulos, author "Retrain your Brain Reshape your Body"

Making a good brain better is a wonderful evolution to Dr Amen's previous guide to brain fitness. The tools and actions described in "Retrain your Brain Reshape your Body" add to Dr Amen's steps to a healthier brain, the necessary first step before undertaking any weight loss program. The neuroscientific tools in "Retrain Your Brain Reshape your Body" will make it easier to carry-out Dr Amen's program. When the two are combined you are more likely to succeed in weight loss and boost quality of life.

A superb source of information about the brain

In this audio CD Dr. Daniel G. Amen very clearly explains the functioning of the various parts of the brain and how they interact with one another and with the rest of the human body. It is not necessary to have any prior knowledge about the brain to understand it because it is basic but full of rich knowledge. So people who are already experts about the brain will also not be bored. Because Dr. Amen diverts from the conventional psychiatric approach to the brain and professionals in psychiatry, psychology and neurology have a lot to gain by listening to Dr. Amen whether they agree with him or not provided that they listen modestly and with an open mind.

Dr. Amen also explains how the brain can be damaged and how to protect it, the type of physical and mental exercises, diet, vitamins and supplements and thinking patterns necessary to develop and utilize the full potential of the brain.

He also talks about various psychiatric disorders their diagnoses and treatments, when someone should seek professional psychological / psychiatric help etc. He talks about the importance of looking at the brain images like and orthopedist looks at X rays or MRI's of the skeleton before diagnosing. This is not to replace other methods in psychiatry or clinical psychology but to assist those techniques in diagnosis and treatment. Many psychiatrists neglect looking at brain images claiming that it is unnecessary. I am no psychiatry expert but I believe many psychiatrists belittle brain imaging technology because they are not trained in it. Obviously, to be helpful the brain images must be carefully interpreted by professionals trained to do so. I have personally witnessed once in another clinic that brain imaging was not carefully interpreted to daignose but was used only to charge the patients. This is a bad intentioned application that can not be generalized. I believe that with proper use this technology is even more promising in the future.

Dr. Amen is a very good talker in the CD. The questions raised and their explanations follow a clearly understandable and enjoyable sequence. Anybody interested in developing his / her knowledge of the brain,in maximizing his / her brain's potential and / or in solving certain emotional / psychological problems will benefit from listening this audio CD or reading the book several times regularly.
