Wonderful! Life-changing!

I just finished listening to this audio book and have already started making life changes. This book is going to save my life!

Great on brain health

Much great insight on how to improve brain health, physical health & how they go hand in hand

Life altering information

Great book. Very eye-opening. Incredible what we consume and expect our bodies and brains to 'just work' . Dr. Amen explains how what we eat and how we treat our bodies truly and drastically affects our brain health.

Great Book!

I really like Dr. Amen, I started watching him on Public Television. This book is fool of great overall brain and body health. I feel that I need to go out and by the actual book as a good resource of references for my health and well being.

Needs to be abridged

Dr. Amen has some good ideas that will help you live longer and better. The problem with this book is that he keeps repeating the same ideas. It became so repetitive that I performed my own abridgment and gave up listening. Generally I have great tolerance for dull books, but after a while this one was too much for me to tolerate.
