If you read only one book this year about improving your brain, as well as your body, make it The Brain Trust Program. If you still feel you need to read two or three other books, put down whatever else you're reading. Instead, pick this up and start reading it until you finish, which won't take very long because it's such a compelling and easily readable book.

I'm not sure exactly what I expected when I picked it up, other than maybe I had a fear that it would fly right over my head because a brain surgeon's writing just might be jammed with complicated medical jargon. I was wrong, and found it readily readable. I was also surprised to find it's not filled with the same mumbo-jumbo I've read in other self-improvement books, which can not only be difficult to comprehend but often fail to offer any reasonable life-changing suggestions. From the opening chapter about life experiences of people who've suffered from brain-drain and overcome it, to succeeding chapters about how the brain actually functions; determining whether you're at risk; how to care and feed your brain and body through nutrition and exercise; which nutrional supplements work and which don't really help your body or brain in the least; and how exercise makes a dramatic difference in your brain functions and your overall outlook on life, The Brain Trust Program unfolds in easy-to-read fashion. There's even a chapter specifically devoted to menopause, migraine headaches, how to prevent your senses from dimming over time and how to potentially offset the dreaded effects of Alzeheimer's Disease, which so many of us either now face or will face in the coming years.

Also included are some great mental exercises, much like gym workouts, designed to help you in a matter of weeks start improving your brain and eventually keeping your brain whip-sharp along the way. They even help you improve your brain power far into the future. It's a program that simply lets you work at your own pace to improve your mental and physical abilities today, tomorrow and for the rest of your life. Unlike so many other similar books, The Brain Trust Program isn't a chore or drudgery. It's fun, and you'll wonder why it took so long for somebody to make such easy, simple-to-follow suggestions, along with why you hadn't figured it out yourself and started improving your life sooner.

I know this might seem as if I'm gushing, but I'm genuinely surprised by how much I thought I knew about improving my mind and body before I opened this book, and then shockingly realized I didn't know as much as I thought. I'm posting this review on sites where I buy books because I believe everyone should have an opportunity to read this book. You can also go to www.dr.mccleary.com/book to find out more about Dr. McCleary.

I believe this book can make a significant difference in my life. And it can also make a difference in your life, in the lives of your children and especially in the lives of your parents and grandparents.

The Brain Trust Program should be required reading for everyone.
