This is a good overview of how certain parts of the brain can affect your actions and moods. Each chapter about a part of the brain is followed by recommendations to improve the brain's function and in turn your life.
Yes, one recommendation is usually medication, but the other 10 or so can easily be incorporated into your life. If you could use a little help, this book and recommendations are certainly worth the low selling price.
Enjoy and good luck. |

| Change Your Brain, Change Your Life contains much information. It is good to read the whole book, but then you must choose which parts apply to you. Each chapter has symptoms, medications and alternative aids. You decide. It has been very helpful. |

This book was recommended by a friend who had brain surgery. I am trying to recover from a traumatic brain injury. This book, though very technical, has given me practical ways to help change areas of my thinking and move forward with my healing.
I highly recommend this book for recovering brain injured patients, drug addicts, thinking disorders, or if you just need to adjust your thinking.
It also explains the importance of the bonding processes in children. Great book for teachers and/or parents. |

| Change Your Brain, Change Your Life: The Breakthrough Program for Conquering Anxiety, Depression, Obsessiveness, Anger, and Impulsiveness This was recommended by my doctor! Not because I am suffering from any of these problems, but it simply has lots of good information, suggestions, observations about the relationship between our physical brain and our mental health. It would be excellent for someone with no background for this topic as it is easy to understand and enjoyable to read. A "condensed version" to use as a "reminder" reference would actually be more helpful for me. |

| The most interesting thing about this book is understanding different parts of the rain and how they function even though it is not the main thrust of the text. The author's text seems like a different approach with the same old solutions offered for depression, anxiety, rage, etc. It's a bit tedious and tiresome. |
