When your brain works right, so do you. When it’s out of balance, you feel frustrated, or worse. Yet amid all the advice that bombards us daily about how to keep the rest of our body strong and healthy, we hear very little about how to keep the most complex and magnificent organ of all—the human brain—in top working order.<br><br>Based on the most up-to-date research, as well as on Dr. Daniel Amen’s more than twenty years of treating patients at the Amen Clinics, where he and his associates pioneered the use of brain imaging in clinical practice, <i>Magnificent Mind at Any Age</i> does exactly that. Dr. Amen shows how many of the traditional approaches to overcoming the mind-centered challenges that hold us back—try harder, work longer, find the sheer willpower—either do not work or may make our problems worse. The true key to satisfaction and success at any age is a healthy brain. By optimizing our brain function we can all develop these qualities of a magnificent mind enjoyed by the world’s most successful and happiest people: <br><br>• Increased memory and concentration<br>• The ability to maintain warm and satisfying relationships<br>• Undiminished sexual desire and performance<br>• Goal-oriented perseverance<br>• Better impulse control and mastery over potential addictions<br>• Free-flowing creativity and the ability to relax and enjoy life’s pleasures<br><br>To achieve this, as Dr. Amen explains here in clearly accessible language, we have a range of options available, including proper diet, natural supplements and vitamins, exercise, positive thinking habits, and, if needed, medication. In addition to revealing how we can all take advantage of such strategies to enjoy the benefits of a balanced and healthy brain at every stage of our lives, Dr. Amen also pinpoints specific ways to tailor behavior, nutrition, and lifestyle to deal effectively with common mental challenges such as memory problems, anxiety and depression, attention deficit disorder, and insomnia.<br><br>Whether you’re in the midst of a demanding career or are looking forward to an active and richly rewarding retirement, <i>Magnificent Mind at Any Age</i> can give you the edge you need to live every day to your fullest potential. 4220467 2 12 2008 Magnificent Mind at Any Age: Natural Ways to Unleash Your Brain's Maximum Potential total:59|5:14|4:18|3:21|2:5|1:1| 59 216 133 21 4 0 false false Wed Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 01 12:17:13 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 01 12:22:02 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Mar 28 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 29 09:46:42 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 29 09:52:57 -0700 2009
