    MUCH too long

    This is what killed it for me, it goes into too much detail and length about each subject.

    Unnecessary for the everyday reader.

    This book could be half in length which would make it much more engaging.

    Deep, Intense studies

    This book is a must for everyone. I had, like many others, a crumby childhood, and now with a family of my own and slight feelings of hopelessness, I picked this up.
    For those previous reviews not giving much credit, it's because they could not understand the information provided by daniel g. amen. the information he provides is very detailed and very informative. I've taken notes to help myself master the systems described & studied by the author. I am convinced that the author is not pro-medicine, but relies on it, for a series of time, as a last resort. He gives techniques, advice, pro's and con's to nutritional & herbal remedies. He desires to give all understanding of the human brain and the systems that effect our personality and behavior, and furthermore how we can control it, and how we can properly seek professional counseling, if needed.
    Everyone needs to review this information to become aware of even the slightest issues that they have and then to be able to relate to family, friends, employee's, boss'... etc.
    good luck & enjoy.

    There might be more then excuses to the lack of good social and personal behavior.
    Good read.

    Dr Amen confirms ancient theory of how the brain functions.

    In Classical African Civilization, Kemet (Ancient Egypt) they wrote extensively on the four brains and how they coordinated functions. The reptilian brain, the Mammalian brain and the PFC.

    It was most interesting to hear how dr Amen and the modern SPECT scans are confirming some of the most important brain functions especially the PFC.

    I also learned a great deal about how modern Psychology should and can cork in a more holistic Manor. I think the physical function of everyone's brain should be looked at. Not as often as blood work is ordered but as part of a GP's SOP FOR BASELINE psychological understanding of a patients body and mind picture.

    How to stretch 2.5 hours of material to fit 11

    Skip past 1.5 hours its just brag about his former work, and yes it is really 1.5 hours of it before the book gets started, then listen closely, and just skip over the "look how great I did I saved yet another life parts"; or you might risk falling asleep or even go into a deep coma.

    There are a lot of interesting facts about the specific brain parts, the book covers mainly the behavior patterns concerning the deep limbic system, X lopus, some X gyros and chemical imbalances and that's very informative, also there are some nice self help talk. And if the book was only 2.5 hours long I would have been happy,
