Description:

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.

5The Brain Book is the best  Jun 23, 2009
I had read about this book for a long time and could hardly wait to get my hands on it. I loved it and have now passed it around to everyone in my family. Dr. Amen makes so much sense and gives you the tools to empower yourself.


5It sounds wonderful....but a lot is hard to do  Jun 19, 2009
I'm in my 70's so I find some things in the book hard to do. Exercise is limited to physical conditions for one. Getting the right foods is another. Everyone is not able to put forth the money for all the 'fresh' vegetables as noted in the book. How about my Green tea? Whoops, caffene. In this day and finacial availibility some things are NOT possible. I'm a fairly intelligent, artistic person. I read ALOT, work all kinds of puzzles, paint, draw, sew and etc. I love to cook and bake. Now this book says not any of the good sweet baking things the kids used to run home for after school. An era has passed when we all grew up to be 'old'. Time for all the younger generation to grow up in a world of pollution and contamination of air, water and ground. This is the cause for most of the non-functioning bodies in this world. With this book nows the time to try to correct your brain. Follow the advice to the BEST OF YOUR ABILITY, nothing will be perfect, so don't think it will be. This may all put you in a down mood, but it is life not fantasy. Enjoy the book, I did. I learned a lot and you will too.

5Essential Brain Upkeep and recovery  Mar 30, 2009
This book is highly informative and helpful. Dr. Amen knows the brain in a very complete way, and instructs us how to protect, heal and sustain our brains. Since the brain is our main organ of thought and bodily control, this book ends up teaching us much about the human as a whole.

4How ALA, ALC and CoQ10 can help change your mind...  Feb 24, 2009
An excellent book on the benefits of keeping ones brain sound and healthy. I quite ennjoyed learning about the different parts of the brain, the supplements that can help enhance performance in each of its areas and the pointers on how to make my brain better. Great read and very educational. Highly recommended.


5making a good brain great  Feb 03, 2009
The CD's arrived amazingly fast and in perfect condition. The information was very helpful. I need to listen to them again as it's hard to write good notes while listening. That's why I bought the book too. This is filled with information for a large variety of concerned people. I will invest in more of Dr Amens work.
