New York Times best-selling author Dr. Daniel Amen equips you with powerful weapons to battle the inner dragons that are breathing fire on your brain, driving unhealthy behaviors, and robbing you of joy and contentment.

Your brain is always listening and responding to these hidden influences and unless you recognize and deal with them, they can steal your happiness, spoil your relationships, and sabotage your health. This book will teach you to tame the: 

  1. Dragons from the Past that ignite your most painful emotions; 
  2. Negative Thought Dragons that attack you, fueling anxiety and depression; 
  3. They and Them Dragons, people in your life whose own dragons do battle with yours; 
  4. Bad Habit Dragons that increase the chances you'll be overweight, overwhelmed, and an underachiever; 
  5. Addicted Dragons that make you lose control of your health, wealth, and relationships; 
  6. Scheming Dragons, advertisers and social media sites that steal your attention. 

In Your Brain Is Always Listening, Dr. Daniel Amen shows you how to recognize harmful dragons and gives you the weapons to vanquish them. With these practical tools, you can stop feeling sad, mad, nervous, or out of control and start being happier, calmer, and more in control of your own destiny.

Very enlightening

I loved this book because it really explained the purpose for paying attention to the ways to keep our brains healthy. The case histories and self disclosures of the author helps the reader to relate on an experiential level as opposed to a clinical level which tends to get boring.

A must read and act on it immediately book

Super book. Loaded with life changing solutions. The book deals with your brain and body and how to keep them in sync. I ask everyone to at least give it a try. Audible will give you back your credit, but your pills will not give you back what it took from you.
