The Amen Solution: The Brain Healthy Way to Get Thinner, Smarter, Happier

This book is filled with interesting facts and useful information, but,,He keeps referring you to his web site for additional helps and information, when you visit, they want a credit card number to process a recurring bill each month, until you cancel.. sort of reminds me of Kevin Trudeau diet books, just a enough information to get you interested, BUT... you need to join his web site, on a monthly bases to get any of his so call real meat to the diet. Dr. Amen's books are better written, and does leave it optional on his web site, His sites are a supplement not a requirement. Over all a very good read.

I have a deep affection for this man personally because of the work he does. He has an interesting view of the human body, one that is unique to most doctors. He believes that our overall health is dependant upon whether or not our brains are functioning properly. I first heard about Dr. Amen from a PBS special one day and was so impressed with what he had to say about our brains, I had to get his book to read for myself. I can't tell you how impressed I was with the amount of information it contained. Truly a book for those who are serious about their overall health. Written in an easy to understand language and simple advice. It is always a pleasure to read Dr. Amen's books, because of his easy, laid back style. I would recommend this book for anyone who may be suffering from anxiety, depression, ADD, or any of the other mental health issues we may suffer from.

Using the analysis of brain activity images surely can give weight (pun intended) to so many classic diet tricks, and add some new twists, but this book emphasizes the utmost truth about getting in shape: your brain, your thoughts, your emotions command it, if you can't convince your inner self of the desire or need to lose weight you'll fail, repeatedly...I've paused mid-book, so I can't tell yet if I will be failing again, or not...

Interesting book, mostly common sense, with some sound suggestions for improving ourselves. I keep it handy to remind myself of these suggestions. I did not find much difference between his title. Could have saved some money and time and read jus on of the 'Amen' books.

I don't need to loose weight. I just wanted to learn more about the brain. So helpful. It lists the healthy brain foods.

The Amen Solution: The Brain Healthy Way to Lose Weight and Keep It Off  This is an interesting book and the premise is surely good. I have already decided not to use unnatural sweeteners and eat healthier. However if you want to use the online help and journals,etc. After the 2 week trial for $1, the price to sign up is $300.00 and let me tell you it is very hard to find customer service to discontinue. That upset me! If he truly wants to help people the cost ought to be a lot less than that. Made me want to send the book back also. I was initially very excited to receive and read the book. Hopefully what I learn from it will be worth the $13.99 Kindle price.

It took reading the Amen Solution Twice before I started putting my brain to work,because I'm a slow starter. After 25 years (birth of last child) I really believe I will make my goal this time. The Amen Solution is a great book,it's helped me get on track and stay there for the last 8 weeks,I've lose inches and 21 pounds so far. I daily log everything I eat,and go back to the book for added strength,when I have off days and give in to the ants-If you're like me and tried everything to lose weight try this,It may be the last because it works so well..**update as of today Dec 3 2011,I've lost 36 pounds,made it through Thanksgiving by using my brain power,without gaining. If you've struggled for years with your weight give this book a try,it may work for you too..

This is by far the best program for dealing with your brain health, weight issues, mood issues and self-defeating mannerisms. The questionnaire provided to determine what brain type you are is so on-target! Very important to know this from the start so you can customize what will work for you. Easy to read and understand. Great information on supplementations and detailed explanations on what you could be lacking to attain your best and why/how that particular supplement will aid you. The section on techniques to "kill the ANTS (automatic negative thoughts)" is clever and effective! I got the cookbook to go along with it and haven't stop utilizing both ever since. This works! Been getting his newletters everyweek and couldn't wait to get a copy when it came out.

Das Buch ist wirklich genial! Wer sich für die Vorgänge in unserem Körper interessiert und/oder abnehmen möchte, sollte es unbedingt lesen! Vorher hätte ich z. B. nicht gewusst, was Dopamin oder GABA mit dem Abnehmen zu tun haben, aber in diesem Buch werden diese wichtigen Zusammenhänge sehr einfach erklärt.Es hat wirklich mein Leben zum Positiven verändert. Auch wenn ich z. Zt. keine Diät mache, achte ich mehr auf meine Ernährung (ich esse viel 'Brain Food' wie z. B. Walnüsse, Heidelbeeren) und beherzige viele Tipps aus dem Buch. Ich hoffe, es wird bald ins Deutsche übersetzt!Wer 'Change your brain, change your body' gelesen hat, braucht 'The Amen Solution' nicht extra kaufen, hier wird nur der Abschnitt zum Thema Abnehmen ausgebaut, die nötigen Grundinformationen hat man alle schon.Weiterer Lesetipp: Younger (Thinner) You Diet von Eric Braverman.

eins der wenigen Bücher, die mir zum Thema Stoffwechsel und Gewichtsabnahme gefallen. Mir persönlich ist die Logik wichtig, Dr. Amen schafft es durch seine langjährige Tätigkeit im Bereich Brain Scan, die Verknüpfungen logisch zu erklären.Dazu habe ich mir den Daniel Plan gekauft - Rick Warren hat seine Erfahrungen mit diesem Programm und die Hilfe durch Gottes Wort miteinander verbunden und für mich ist das sehr hilfreich. Sehr ansprechend ist auch das dazugehörige Kochbuch - wunderschöne Bilder, die unsere Seele inspirieren und Lust auf Gesundheit und Ursprünglichkeit machen.

the paper quality is not good. the font is too small and looks like a old book and used book, the copy which i received.

Oh...my poor brain. This book is an eye opener. Once I am finished reading I will definitely be taking a couple of suggestions and incorporating into my life. When these become habits, I will add more.

Great learning
