Changing your brain you can change your life

If you want to change your life it pays to read this post.
On Tuesday, April 22, 2008 at 6 PM EST Dr. Daniel Amen will be a guest on Your Mental Health Talk Radio to discuss his book Change Your Brain Change Your Life and the Amen Clinics.
Dr. Amen is a Board Certified Child, Adolescent and Adult Psychiatrist.
He was also a pioneer for the use of brain SPECT imaging in psychiatry.
His clinics have the world's largest database of brain scans and he believes in both medication and natural supplements to optimize brain function.
He wrote 22 bestsellers and has high school courses in 34 states and 7 countries, appeared in all the major TV shows and was mentioned in all important magazines and newspapers.
But what I find extremely interesting is something which reminds me of an Italian Scientist: Cesare Lombroso.
He compared the skull of criminals to the ones of normal people to prove that the brain can affect the behaviour of people.
Dr. Amen believes in Brain's scans.
Here you can see the brain of a mass murderer and the effects of depression, substance abuse, toxic exposure, and more. Compare them to a healthy brain and follow the detailed explanations.
You can also visit Your Mental Health Talk Radio Home Page to read further.
Or you can try Your Mental Health Talk Radio Home Page, where they will explain all what concerns your mental health.

I met Dr. Amen at a lecture he gave and then participated in his brain study of injured and uninjured brains. I learned a lot about the damage that can occur even from normal children's bangs to the head - the kind that happen to most kids who engage in sports.

If you are interested in the brain and how it works, I highly recommend reading ""My Stroke of Insight"" by Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor. It's on the NY Times Bestseller list and it's a wonderful book. Dr. Taylor's talk at TED dot com is also AMAZING! Oprah interviewed Dr. Taylor and you can check that out on Oprah.com. And Time Magazine named Dr. T one of the 100 Most Influential people in the world. Having read her book, I can see why all the attention.

Dr. Amen's book is brain science and it's great at that. Dr. Taylor is a Harvard Brain Scientist, but what she writes about is the science and much more. She really cracks the code to understand how our brains (right and left hemispheres) work and she explains how we can get into our right brain and be happier and more joyful. Aside from any of the science, My Stroke of Insight is also just a great story.
