Daniel Amen, M.D., one of the world's foremost authorities on the brain,
has news for you: your brain is involved in everything you do--learn to
care for it properly, and you will be smarter, healthier, and happier in
as little as 15 days!
You probably run, lift weights, or do yoga to keep your body in great
shape; you put on sunscreen and lotions to protect your skin; but
chances are you simply ignore your brain and trust it to do its job.
People unknowingly endanger or injure their brains, stress them by
working at a frenzied pace and not getting enough sleep, pollute them
with caffeine, alcohol, and drugs, and deprive them of proper nutrients.
Brain dysfunction is the number one reason people fail at school, work,
and relationships. The brain is the organ of learning, working, and
loving--the supercomputer that runs our lives. It's very simple: when
our brains work right, we work right--and when our brains have trouble,
we have trouble in our lives.
Luckily, it's never too late: the brain is capable of change, and when
you care for it, the results are amazing. Making a Good Brain Great
gives you the tools you need to optimize your brain power and enrich
your health and your life in the process. The principles and exercises
in this book, based on years of cutting-edge neuroscience research and
the experiences of thousands of people, provide a wealth of practical
information to teach you how to achieve the best brain possible. You
will learn:
-how to eat right to think right
-how to protect your brain from injuries and toxic substances
-how to nourish your brain with vitamins and do mental workouts to keep
it strong
-the critical component of physical exercise, and which kinds work best
-how to rid your brain of negative thoughts, counteract stress, and much
more
Full of encouraging anecdotes from Dr. Amen's many years of experience,
Making a Good Brain Great is a positive and practical road map for
enriching and improving your own greatest asset--your brain.
