Daniel Amen, M.D., one of the world’s foremost authorities on the brain, has news for you: your brain is involved in everything you do—learn to care for it properly, and you will be smarter, healthier, and happier in as little as 15 days!
You probably run, lift weights, or do yoga to keep your body in great shape; you put on sunscreen and lotions to protect your skin; but chances are you simply ignore your brain and trust it to do its job. People unknowingly endanger or injure their brains, stress them by working at a frenzied pace and not getting enough sleep, pollute them with caffeine, alcohol, and drugs, and deprive them of proper nutrients. Brain dysfunction is the number one reason people fail at school, work, and relationships. The brain is the organ of learning, working, and loving—the supercomputer that runs our lives. It’s very simple: when our brains work right, we work right—and when our brains have trouble, we have trouble in our lives.
Luckily, it’s never too late: the brain is capable of change, and when you care for it, the results are amazing. Making a Good Brain Great gives you the tools you need to optimize your brain power and enrich your health and your life in the process. The principles and exercises in this book, based on years of cutting-edge neuroscience research and the experiences of thousands of people, provide a wealth of practical information to teach you how to achieve the best brain possible. You will learn:
•how to eat right to think right
•how to protect your brain from injuries and toxic substances
•how to nourish your brain with vitamins and do mental workouts to keep it strong
•the critical component of physical exercise, and which kinds work best
•how to rid your brain of negative thoughts, counteract stress, and much more
Full of encouraging anecdotes from Dr. Amen’s many years of experience, Making a Good Brain Great is a positive and practical road map for enriching and improving your own greatest asset—your brain.
From the Hardcover edition.
Great Book 
I just loved this book. I love the author's use of alternative methods (vitamins etc) in order to enhance metal processing and function.
I also enjoyed that Amen told me what to take, how much and how often. The readability of the book was great - I could follow the author's ideas without an issue.
I highly recommend the book to anyone wanting a little bit more out of their brain. It is a great tool and I have found myself going back to it for reference on new supplements or ideas.
Fascinating and Life Changing
I can't believe that this book is not better known. The implications of it are enormous. It is well written and logically organized and has tons of practical information for ways to more effectively use your brain. Yes, much of it is common sense, but the writer backs it up with evidence I hadn't read before. As a result, I've begun taking fish oil supplements, eating differently, working suduko puzzles and cutting back on alcohol and coffee. If I have one criticism of this book it is that there is almost too much in it. You hardly know where to begin.
I think a critic could say that Dr. Amen is self-promotional, and that the book is a long ad for his clinic. But I took this information to be the product of real enthusiasm for his work.
While this book can't answer all the mysteries of the brain, and while it can't hope to be a tool for diagnoses, it is well worth the time to read it and think about the beneficial changes you can make.
Wonderful information
This book is great. It is truly a guide to improve our brains. This book is a must for anyone that cares about their health and mind. Many of the points he brings out are things I really hadn't thought about like, pollution, sleep and being deprived of proper nutrients. This book tells us how to improve our brains/minds in as little as 15 days. Must have book.
Provides sound information
What I enjoy about this product is it is on CD. This allows me to listen to the information in my car while driving. It's nice to have options of books or CD for those of us that are constantly on the go and over worked with our eyes reading.
Thanks for offering a product that helps develop one's productivity with tools of thought through the CD version.
