Amazon.com Review:
In this age of do-it-yourself health care (heck, if the doctoronly sees you for 10 minutes each visit, what other options arethere?), Change Your Brain, Change Your Life fits inperfectly. Filled with "brain prescriptions" (among them cognitiveexercises and nutritional advice) that are geared toward readerswho've experienced anxiety, depression, impulsiveness, excessive angeror worry, and obsessive behavior, Change Your Brain, Change YourLife milks the mind-body connection for all it's worth.
Written by a psychiatrist and neuroscientist who has also authored abook on attention deficit disorder, Change Your Brain containsdozens of brain scans of patients with various neurological problems,from caffeine, nicotine, and heroin addiction to manic-depression toepilepsy. These scans, often showing large gaps in neurologicalactivity or areas of extreme overactivity, are downright frighteningto look at, and Dr. Amen should know better than to resort to suchscare tactics. But he should also be commended for advocating naturalremedies, including deep breathing, guided imagery, meditation,self-hypnosis, and biofeedback for treating disorders that are sofrequently dealt with by prescription only.

Change Your Brain, Change Your Life: The Breakthrough Program for Conquering Anxiety, Depression, Obsessiveness, Anger, and Impulsiveness This was recommended by my doctor!
