Think and Eat Yourself Smart

A Neuroscientific Approach to a Sharper Mind and Healthier Life

By: Dr. Caroline Leaf

Narrated by: Teri Clark Linden

Length: 7 hrs and 41 mins

Publisher's Summary

Science is beginning to understand that our thinking has a deep and complicated relationship with our eating. Our thoughts before, during, and after eating profoundly impact our food choices, our digestive health, our brain health, and more. Yet most of us give very little thought to our food beyond taste and basic nutritional content. 

In this revolutionary book, Dr. Caroline Leaf packs an incredible amount of information that will change listeners' eating and thinking habits for the better. Rather than getting caught up in whether we should go raw or vegan, gluten-free or paleo, Leaf shows listeners that every individual is unique, has unique nutritional needs, and has the power to impact their own health through the right thinking. There's no one perfect solution. Rather, she shows us how to change the way we think about food and put ourselves on the path towards health. 

Anyone who is tired of traditional diet plans that don't work, who struggles with emotional eating, or who simply isn't satisfied with their level of health will find in this book the key to discovering how they can begin developing a healthier body, brain, and spirit.

Great content but a little negative

Any additional comments?

Big fan of Dr. Leaf. The overall content is fabulous although after going through 3/4 of the book I found myself getting down. Maybe that's just because the food industry is so screwed up and the Dr. does a great job of pointing out in detail how screwed up it is, but I found the repetition of talking about what is wrong to get negative. Just personal preference but I would have liked to see the book weighted more towards solutions and techniques to correct poor eating habits than the problem itself. Still, it was a very interesting read/listen with great information. The performance was robotic. There were moments of real brilliance but I honestly thought at times it was a computer converting text to speech. Sorry.

Life changing book

Think & Eat Yourself Smart is a life-changing book. If you are not prepared to make some changes then don't read it! However if you are interested in a book that will alter your scientific, spiritual and emotional outlook on what you put in your body this is a MUST READ! I honestly have never been a super reader but this book was so interesting I was able to fly through and highlighted so many things throughout! Check it out grab your copy today!

All about the mad diet.

It was ok. Not what I was expecting. I know all about how our beef, chicken, meat in America is "horrible" for us. the dangers of sugar, processed gluten, fat, salt, ECT. Maybe for someone else who doesn't know this info this book would be good. I was expecting more on how to change your brain regarding loving to eat healthy and getting past how hard it is. There was some sections on that. I struggle with the actual mentality of how it's a precious gift to eat nourishing to the body, and having fomo in american culture and favorite foods. you can hit me all day with statistics, like a wet noodle. The actual change comes with the mental shift.

Terrific book!!!

I have listened to a lot of books about health, sustainable living, modern disease, etc. and this is one of my favorites. The author did a phenomenal job presenting all the major issues of today's modern society with regard to food, obesity, CAFOs, big pharma, disease and the medical institution. I will definitely listen to again, because there is so much info packed into this book. She really did her homework. Best of all, I love, love, love that it's from a Christian perspective. I wish she would have chosen a Christian narrator, though. Throughout the book the narrator kept saying "...Theologians chapter ___" instead of Thessalonians. It was a bit disconcerting, and I'm surprised no proofers caught it. But it didn't at all take away from the very well-written book. Essential for anyone interested in improving their health!! Highly recommend!

good book ~ recommend

Any additional comments?

I would have liked the passages read instead of just rattling off the references ~ we're listening to audio here ~ I felt like I missed out on a third of the book

Think and Eat Yourself Smart

Love audiobook. Very lengthy and long but a lot of good information. Need to here it again and again to grasp all the information about the do's and don'ts. l will need to renew my mind in order to chang what l am doing. To make and eat yourself smart , but overall great audiobook.

Loved the content, hated the narration

Loved the content - and Carolyn herself as a speaker. But the robotic narrator used for this book made it difficult to get through it.

My New Favorite

Moe people need to be exposed to Dr Caroline Leaf ! I am studying health, nutrition, and psychology of health on my own, not for college or anything else. Just self development. This book has taught me so much and I will re listen to it in order to truly remember and understand some of her deeper concepts. This is the kind of book you want to spend your down time on at night or early morning listening to start or end your day with mindfulness. I would suggest listening first then second time take notes. You will really need to pay attention and NOT think multi tasking doing emails or anything that could clutter your mind while listening to this book. Thank you to Caroline Leaf for being so straight forward, informative, inspiring, and encouraging a healthier and more spiritual life.

BEST MOTIVATION TO EAT HEALTHY EVER!!!

Thinking is the foundation to eating healthy. With all the conflicting studies out there this author has done her research and reminds us to eat food the way it was Created! And Why!! And How!!
Narrator needs to learn how to accurately pronounce the books of the Bible but other than that she was great.

Poor writing, Poor performance

I follow Dr. Leaf and am a fan of hers. However, the first part of this book is padded with a lot of scary condemnations of the food industry, a rehash of Fast Food Nation for the first 9 chapters, inducing fear and a negative mindset from the beginning of the book, when this is the antithesis of the professed goals of Dr. Leaf. Perhaps Dr. Leaf had a contract for so many pages. Start at Chapter 10 and read on from there for the gist of the book. Also, the narrator, hired to read a Christian title, mispronounces the names of the Biblical epistles to the Thessalonians multiple times. Familiarity with the basics of Christianity such as a knowledge of how to pronounce the books of the Bible should be requisite for any narrator endeavoring to read a Christian title. However, if you can get past these shortfalls, it might be useful. I look forward to a revised version without the first 9 chapters (or the 9 shortened to 1) and a narrator conversant with the rudiments of the Bible.

Amazing book - renewing

This book is amazing life changing! It has made everything clear that seemed so complicated before. I love this - thank you and I hope there is another book soon to follow!

God based nutrition

Not my cup of tea, in summary eat whole foods fresh from source with a load of biblical references and sources. Unfortunately I personally don't find the bible a reliable source

God centered

The learning in this book is heavily centred around christian teachings and not science or psychological driven findings

Mind reset

Really helped to reset my minds approach to food & eating habits, so that my body can heal from years of stressful existence & eating on the run

Loved it

So much useful stuff in one book about the foods that go into our body

A wasted credit

What a waste of time. Various bible quotes stuffed down my throat. Not at all palatable
