Change Your Brain, Change Your Life by Daniel G. Amen (2000, Paperback, Reprint)

This book provides a unique and clear perspective into the world of certain psychological disorders. Applying photos that show differences between normal brain functioning and bipolar, ADHD, and other disorders gives insight into common "behaovioral" problems. The author (Daniel Amen) demonstrates how all the proper parenting in the world will not solve a brain disorder and gives ideas for other methods (nutritional, educational, emotional, and prescriptive) to enhance moods and behaviors. My attitude towards many of the people I know has changed and softened because of this book.

If you read it, also check out some of the web sites that promote Mr. Amen's ideas further and be sure to note that over the several years that this book has been available, more therapy based on these ideas is available.

I saw Dr. Amen on PBS. I have suffered from functional, clinical depression, probably all my life. Can't say for sure because I wasn't evaluated before I was 42. Nolonger working(functional), my depression has increased. Chaos is something I have battled forever.
This book shows me an organized map of what is happening. I can find my problems. I can see were they are. The more I know about my problems the better I feel. The more simplistic the explanation, the more I know.
love: organization, simple language, the possibility of making a difference with out anti depressence.
dislike: nothing
Why I decided to buy it: Dr. Amen's PBS program and the thought that it may be written as he spoke: organized, simple language and the possibilit of making a difference with out antidepressance.

Everyone should read this book. It gives simple tips on how to maximize your brain health. It explains how the brain works and stops the myth that the brain is somehow unchangable but instead talks about how to improve the brain biologically. Very good book!

Anyone interested in mental and physical health will enjoy the contents of this well-written and easy reading book.

The book provides better descriptions of why we behave the way we do in certain situations. Some sections get very tecnical, but others are very direct and helpful in day to day living. Definetly worth the price.

The whole book is very interesting with great information. A great insight into the chemicals of the human mind.

This book touches many subjects about life. I would recomend it to anyone who would like to make their life and relationships better. It has simple explaniations and directions on how to change your thoughts and the reactions of your thoughts and feelings with those you love.

People do not need drugs to change their brain. They can change their thoughts through disipline.There is an alternitive to drugs. But the medical profession keeps adhering to the pharmacutical companies. Where does it all end. Believe in GOD and you can change your life through your thought process...

I love this book, and let people borrow it all the time. It explains behavior from a hardwired standpoint, and helps you use the brains adaptability to reprogram the wiring. It's really great. I highly recommend it.

I like thiss book. The brain is the part of the body that's not so easy to understand. The way this book is put together makes everything so much easier to understand. The pictures are in 3-D. It explains what the different parts of the brain are and where are located. There are pictures to help you understand the different illness and see the damaged caused by them. It help you to understand you own behavior. You get knowledge of why people act the way they do.
I get this book to find out what I could do to improve my quality of life. I now know what I can do to prevent some of the problems expected to come with age.

This book explains WHY we behave the way we do based on changes that occur in the brain. Explains the root of the problem and gives different methods of solving it. Very easy reading and very interesting information. I would recommend this book for anyone who suffers from anxiety, depression, pms, mood swings, or anything that you feel that you cannot control, or for someone who needs to understand problems a loved one is having.

I saw a library copy and it interested me. I find it to be scientifically backed up by a long history. I recommmend this book in the interest of health.

Wonderful information. I wish all psychiatrists were like this one. Explains a lot about human behavior and maybe a practical approach on how to fix it.

I am only part way through the book and I find that it provides you with information to see things in a different light versus being doomed to traditional ideas and methods used to treat unique differences of people!

The shipment was fast and extremely well packaged. I would do business with this ebayer again if the opportunity presents its self. The book was in a NEW condition and was used as a gift. This was the most informative book on the subject according to the person whom I gave the book too and she has read a few books about the brain.

Very interesting view and research. I like his use of natural aids rather than hard core medications. Thank you.

I work with children who are diagnosed with various behaviour disorders. Over the years, I have petitioned parents and fellow educators to take a second look at their behaviours as they may relate to physiology. Most people said, "they just needed better parents and more rigid rules" Needless to say, these interventions have resulted minimum progress. Your book now gives me support and evidence that alternate considerations can be made to help these children. I will be talking with a parent whose child has chronic kidney problems. Yes, he's in a class for behaviour disorder!

I saw the author on TV and was very impressed. This is not some pie in the sky hoopla to sell something. It is very practical advice about how to change your life and greatly improve your life over all by changing the way you think. Not only does he talk about your thought process amd give you ways to make positive improvements but also tells you what foods help you to "feed your brain". I found it to be very insightful and easy to understand.

Great Book, LOVED THE PICTURES AND THE TEXT AND WILL PUT MANY INTO USE. Came fast and glad to get it!

This is a book that can change your life. At the very least you will gain understanding and insight about yourself and others. This book is good for anyone but is mostly geared for depressed, OCD, ADD and other mental afflictions. You may well read this book "for someone else" and find yourself (I did).

I became interested in Daniel Amen after watching him on PBS. I bought it to learn more about ADD and to cope with the symptoms that I and my children deal with. I am so excited to apply some of the principles I have already learned. I now realize that I am the way I am because of my brain, I am excited to help my kids, I would highly recommend this book.

Heard rave reviews about the book, and it did not disappoint. I had also seen segments of Dr. Amen on public television and was very interested in what he had to say. The book contains excellent information and I would recommend it to anyone.

excellent product service and promptness will return for other purchases, dependable and accurate of original description
