About this listen

Are you chained to your addiction to smoking? Drinking? Sugar? Drugs? Food? Prescription painkillers? Caffeine? Internet porn? Gambling? Sex?

When you are chained by an addiction, it can ruin your life, devastate your family, destroy your relationships, derail your career, lower your grades, and make you physically ill.

Do you want to break free from your addictions?

If so, you need to optimize your brain. The brain plays a central role in your vulnerability to addiction and your ability to recover. Brain dysfunction is the number one reason people fall victim to addiction, why they can't break the chains of addiction, and why they relapse.

Unchain Your Brain: 10 Steps to Breaking the Addictions That Steal Your Life is a practical, easy-to-follow step-by-step program that shows you how to boost your brain so you can kick your bad habits. In this audiobook, you will discover:

  • How addictions get stuck in your brain, how to get them unstuck, and how to find lasting motivation to change
  • Why brain imaging changes everything, even if you never get a scan
  • How to get the right evaluation to ensure that you can heal from your addictions
  • The six different types of addictions based on brain types, why all addicts are not the same, and how to find the best treatment solutions for you based on your brain type
  • Strategies to boost your brain to get control
  • Ways to lock up the craving monster that steals your life
  • Tips to eat right so you can think right and heal from your addiction
  • How to kill the addiction ANTs that infest your brain and keep you in chains
  • Ways to prevent relapse by following H-A-L-T plus brain science; and
  • How hypnosis and meditation can help you unchain your brain, including a 12-minute meditation and a real hypnosis session done by Dr. Amen.

Excellent

This book uses medical research, along with specific stories, to teach how your brain works. It has helped me to understand the power I have over my own brain, and how tackling small changes can help me to achieve my larger goals over time. I highly recommend this book if you have or know someone who has an addiction.

Understand your brain and thinking patterns

I am a counseling student and this was a great way to expand on the topic of addictions beyond the text.

Awesome

Anyone dealing with loved ones with addiction or brain disorders needs to read this book.
The one thing I had a hard time with was him not narrating it himself!

Amen’s Best Yet!

This is a powerful book. I have read it 3 times now and get something new each time. It has not only helped heal my brain,after 25 years of addiction, but also helped me to thrive, with 26 years of recovery, to the point that my brain is better at 66 then it was at 26. I would love a scan of my brain!!! Praise the Lord!!! Thank you, Doctors!

Easy to Understand and follow information!

I listened to this doctor, on Jim Kiwi's podcast, I found it super interesting how he approaches the problems caused by our brains... And in this book I found a very clear and well explained way of how our brain works, a great noted author and doctor.

Noted book!

I agree with others that this book should have been organized by addiction/brain trauma. I finally just began listening to this in the background during workouts, gardening, etc. because it drones on and on with lists that had already been apart of a previous chapter.

It's interesting and has valuable info.

To sum up, get your brain healthy. Eat healthy, think healthy, and buy their supplements;)
