 Ground breaking book for people who want an alternative to medication August 27, 2010
Art and Soul (Victoria, BC, Cnada)
Dr. Amen explains in simple, clear language how various, readily available suppliments can improve and in many cases cure problems that originate in weaknesses in various parts of the brain. These problems include: depression, anxiety and ADD among others. A selection of research papers are provided to back up his claims. Why isn't this material taught in medical schools?
 PROMO FOR AUTHOR August 18, 2010

Disappointing. One long promo for the author and his clinics. A waste of my limited book buying budget.
 Lots of words-very little content. July 9, 2010

The gist of this book is: get lots of exercise, use your brain, get lots of sleep, take at least 5 grams of fish oil daily.
Fortunately I got it out of the library. I suggest you do the same. Interesting verbiage, but very low information content.
Publisher must have paid the author by the word without reading it. Numerous grain scan photos - what for?

Dr. Daniel Amen's Magnificent Mind At Any Mind describes the association of the neurological health of the human brain and mental disorders and offers suggestions in overcoming them from either taking supplements or through self-therapy.
I have read one of the earlier books, Change Your Brain Change Your Life, and this book offers more topics than his earlier book. There was some overlap but this book was different. In his earlier book, he discusses his use of the SPECT scan trying to show its significance in diagnosing disorders. In the Magnificent Mind, he seems way more confident in the value of the SPECT scan. Also, the Magnificent Minds seems to offer more self-therapeutic advice than the earlier book, which seems to focus more on the value of the SPECT scan. This book seems more comprehensive than Change Your Brain Change Your Life. Although it seems that Change Your Brain seems to focus on the neurological component of the brain health, the Magnificent Minds seems to offer both neurological and psychological components.
One of the profound parts of this book is the idea that the mind is OK but the brain may not. The person's character and personality may seem OK, but the brain may be impaired to extent that the person appears irrational, anxious, depressed, and so forth. There might be nothing wrong with your mind, the brain just may be busted. I think one of the points of this book is to put a sick brain back to health.
This is a pretty interesting book. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in how the brain reacts given certain disorders, drug abuse, and addictions such as playing video games. This book may offer a glimpse as to why certain disorders occur.

Its a replacement book I loaned out to someone... I thought it was worth replacing again. Dr Amen is the first Dr. and his associates are the first persons to actually help me with my TBI. Everyone else said I didn't want help because I would stop using the drugs the gave me,the side effects were worse than the actual problem and believe me I took a ton of different drugs. Within weeks of following Dr. Amen's protocall and Dr. Goldman's in Fairfield I started getting better. For forty years I walked around without a solution and now I have a chance to be whole again thanks to Dr. Amen and his team.
