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.
A new approach with similar solutions November 2, 2008

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.
 One of the best mental health books I've read. October 28, 2008

I've read many mental health books. This one has been my favorite and most helpful, along with Dr. David Burns "Feeling Good" in a close second.
Dr. Amen's work is a fresh change from the standard, "take a pill and you'll feel better" approach taken by so many healthcare professionals. I've always been torn on the medication debate, but this book very much opened my mind to all therapy approaches. It is written in way anyone can understand and retain the information, while still being fairly scientific.
I highly recommend this book. It will help you understand yourself and the people around you so much better.
Change Your Brain Change Your Life October 28, 2008
I am very impressed with Dr. Amen's book. I can see where it can help my family tremendously. Knowledge is power and this is one incredible and powerful book. He makes technical terms easy to understand and I've read it through and totally enjoyed this book.
It gives one compassion for those with brain injuries, which may have happened in a fall, car accident, while we were children or other times in our lives, and most of us don't put the injury and a change in behavior together. The brain is quite delicate and to have it bounced around inside our skulls can damage it. It's amazing to realize a left temporal lobe injury can cause one to be angry much of the time and not be able to control oneself. I would definitely take a family member that has serious issues (ADD, ADHD, OCD, Depression, Anger Issues, etc.) to one of his clinics (www.amenclinics.com) and get the spect brain imaging where you can really see where the problems are occurring and treat with proper medication, therapy and/or alternative methods. He's not all about pure drugging, but there is a place for them and they work better when you can see what area is out of snyc and not just guessing. Just like you use an ultrasound to "see" a cyst, you can "see" where the problem (activity level) is. I recommend this book for all. A true treasure chest of knowledge.
