OK but not what expected

Customer Rating:

Interesting book. Not quite what I expected though. Lots of case studies and descriptions of what medications he prescribed. I hoped for more on the natural side of how to improve your brain, eg: Diet,- but it dosen't touch on that too much except to mention that we need high protein/low-carb. If you have a specific ailment and are looking for info on how to treat it then this is a good book for you. Also, it does touch on how music and goal-setting can be good for brain health. I found this helpful. But the bulk of the book is case studies and what prescription meds he issued! I don't regret buying it even though I think it could heave been better: ie, - more in-depth info on the natural side of things like music, diet, smells, natural remedies... and less on prescription meds.

Learn "how to" handle life hecklers

Customer Rating:

I have known and loved my husband for 44 yrs. This book defined solutions for behavioral concerns time has wrought. First, thank goodness, second other examples that didn't look for help where relationships were let go instead of solved. The vow we took was for better or worse, come for answers and solutions. Great insight of our human race we take for granted and solutions for remaining human. We are together with the diagnosis and solved our "differences" with 'change your brain change your life'. Examples of circumstance and real life examples are given as well in the book. A person fell off a ladder and one year later a family dispersed, not necessary- this book can save lives and all that goes with this life.

Fascinating

Customer Rating:

The author uses brain scans and other tools from nuclear medicine to discuss common emotional issues such as anxiety, impulsiveness, anger, etc. The author's prescriptions have been cited by many experts but as far as I know, have not been linked to the various brain scans, which are compelling. This book is excellent. I believe it should be read in conjunction with Optimal Thinking: How to Be Your Best Self which explains what each emotion means, and provides questions to accept, understand and best resolve them. Read both books.

Good book for alternative views on Anxiety etc...	Customer Rating:
Good book for alternative views on Anxiety etc... I thught the books was pretty eye opening, whether you agree with the "mainstream" or the "outside the box" evaluatons it's good to get both sides of the story and make a judgement on your own. I give the book 5 stars.
