MAKING A GOOD BRAIN GREAT

This immensely friendly audio makes it obvious that Dr. Amen knows his field. Certain toxins, foods, and avoidable emotional and physical traumas can cause profound changes in the way we think, feel, and manage ourselves, and yet we ignore these influences and go on believing our problems are caused by failures of will or morality. Though quite technical, the author's in-depth writing and lively narration bring his subject to life and may inspire listeners to do some tinkering with their life styles. His examples and insights provide lucid glimpses into the neurobiology of behavior. From one of our most articulate neuroscientists, this is a fast-moving overview of the remedies we can implement to make the best of our body's most influential organ. T.W.
