BRAIN PRESCRIPTIONS THAT REALLY WORK

In this breakthrough bestseller, you'll see scientific evidence that your anxiety, depression, anger, obsessiveness, or impulsiveness could be related to how specific structures in your brain work. You're not stuck with the brain you're born with. Here are just a few of neuropsychiatrist Dr. Daniel Amen's surprising--and effective--"brain prescriptions" that can help heal your brain and change your life:

To Quell Anxiety and Panic:

¸ Use simple breathing techniques to immediately calm inner turmoil

To Fight Depression:

¸ Learn how to kill ANTs (automatic negative thoughts)

To Curb Anger:

¸ Follow the Amen anti-anger diet and learn the nutrients that calm rage

To Conquer Impulsiveness and Learn to Focus:

¸ Develop total focus with the "One-Page Miracle"

To Stop Obsessive Worrying:

¸ Follow the "get unstuck" writing exercise and learn other problem-solving exercises

This is a wonderful book. After watching Dr. Amen on PBS television, I decided to get a copy. The book is a must read for any one who wants to have mental wholeness in this our crazy world. I highly recommend it to students, intellectuals and the general public.
