Reclaim Your Brain

How to Calm Your Thoughts, Heal Your Mind, and Bring Your Life Back Under Control

De: Joseph A. Annibali M.D., Daniel G. Amen - foreword

Narrado por: Joseph A. Annibali M.D., Daniel G. Amen M.D.

A prescriptive guide to restoring cognitive calm, based on Amen Clinics chief psychiatrist Dr. Joseph Annibali’s three decades of treating patients who suffer from overloaded, overstimulated brains.

Dr. Joseph Annibali has treated thousands of people with overloaded, overstimulated brains. Some people describe their brain as being “in chaos”; others feel that their brain is “on fire”. But whether they are ultimately diagnosed with anxiety, disabling OCD, depression, bipolar disorder, or even substance abuse, the underlying problem is a "Too-Busy Brain", a great irritant that interferes with attention, concentration, focus, mood, and often much more. It may even be a sign of undetected damage to either the brain or the body itself. But through practical strategies, understandable explanations, and prescriptive mind-management techniques, Dr. Annibali will help listeners finally reclaim their brains and get back in control of their lives.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A well-rounded discussion of common mental problems and strategies for dealing with them." (Kirkus Reviews)

“Readers of this book will be surprised to learn how much they can really do for themselves to calm their busy brains once they know how their brains work.” (Daniel G. Amen, M.D., New York Times best-selling author of Change Your Brain, Change Your Life)

“Reclaim Your Brain presents a practical and accessible guide to integrating current perspectives on mind and brain by melding well-constructed case examples into a user-friendly path toward self-help. Dr Annibali has a clear perspective on how to find your own identity apart from your deceptive brain messages.” (Jeffrey Schwartz, MD, author of You Are Not Your Brain and Brain Lock)

good information but i can't write a prescription

like i said the information sounds good but there is so much about medications that are not available to a self help guide.

Rather Dissapointing

Maybe I was expecting too much, or something different, but this book offered very little new to me. Seems like the same old story: low carbs, more greens and berries, green tea, meditation...

Basically it's a self help book mainly for people with serious and chronic digestive problems. I'm sure it's useful for those people, but I was really hoping to learn more about gut-brain interaction and this did not deliver.

Since I wasn't being helped and the slightly "salesmanish" tone of the writing was painful, I only made it about three quarters of the way before giving up.

Excellent Self Help Book

What did you love best about Reclaim Your Brain?

I love the examples that Dr. Annibali gives to explain reasons the brain loops scenes and thoughts over and over again. I deal with many mental patients in a clinic at my work place. It is interesting to see why and how others are acting out their symptoms.

Which scene was your favorite?

The research subjects are insightful. It makes sense that Dr. Amen recommends this book. Both of these doctors have made great strides in the Mental Health field.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Great Narration. Nothing wrong at all.

Any additional comments?

Everyone should read this book. Audio and Kindle versions are excellent manuals.

Excellent listen/perspective

Really interesting to gain more perspective on self-talk and learn how to control negative internal thoughts

loved It!

Very helpful. Eye opening. If you or someone you know is suffering from conditions that seem unexplainable to you and others are writing them off as depression, anxiety or other mental conditions. Listen to this book, you may find some answers.

Best brain health book out there!

I learned so much about the brain and how to take care of it from this book. I would be very surprised to find a better book about brain health.

Very helpful

This is truly a great read if you are looking for help identifying the source of a busy brain and all the different methods that medical professionals can use to treat it.
