most enlightening & informative study of "what makes us tick

The care and feeding of your brain is a most enlightening and informative study of "what makes us tick" from the four areas of the brain to the most recent research on the function of the brain. Especially fascinating are the many "boosters" and "zappers" in lifestyles and foods that affect the brain conditions and can create a healthy happy life...

Talked to writer on net newsgroup then bought book.

The writer has halped a lot of people on the internet fibromyalgia newsgroup. I told myself "buy the book", because he helped me and my doctor solve a problem with painful withdrawal symptoms from Paxil. He also made lots of recommendations about natural remedies that worked and what I should not buy and buy. The book he wrote spells out his philosophy and principles of "caring for the brain" really well. It was fun to read it. You will see.

This book was most interesting and informative.

I found that this book covered a great deal of information but was presented in way that made it quite simple for the reader to understand. I learned alot of things about the brain that I did not know before and I am a BSN, RN. I found that I could not put the book down. I read it in one evening and it did not feel as if I were reading a text book . Cudos to the author for a concise well written book.

VERY INTERESTING TO KNOW WHAT AFFECTS US

I brought this book to a networking group 2 days ago. After browsing through it, a couple of them said they were going out immediately to buy the book, one asked me to buy it for her. I am ordering that one now! One of my friends was starting a corportate stress reliever business. This book was perfect timing for her! I certainly didn't realize a lot of the "boosters" and "zappers" that I have in my life and diet everyday. Not only does the knowledge help me, I can understand and guide my children better!

Helped Me Make Sense and Piece Together My Depression

Have had problems with depression for many years and I started therapy recently. This book helped me comprehend the factors that led to and kept me stuck in a rut. Used it with my therapist to help explain the medication options. He is now recommending it to his other patients.
