Review:The first few chapters were interesting but after a while it became apparent that this was a 350-page book that was stretched to 700 pages by means of jargon, lack of focus, and way too much detail. I can understand that many people who work in this field might give it 5 stars. But for everyone else, it is definitely not a five star book and was not worthy of all the praise it received by certain book reviews, such as Kirkus. I remember reading an interview with a writer who said it was hard to ... Read more

Review:How to keep it working optimally. I was aware of some of the techniques he discusses for enhancing brain function but was blown away by many of the insights and techniques he discusses that I didn't know about. One important change I have made in my lifestyle from reading this book is to exercise more to keep the brain happy and fit.

Absolutely NO reservations about recommending this book to anyone (at any level of knowledge about the brain) interested in learning about your most comple... Read more

Review:There has been so much research on brain function over the past decade that it has been difficult to keep up. This volume provides the average reader with a world of valuable information. It is clearly and concisely written and easily comprehended. A very important read for those interested in how our thinker works, and sometimes doesn't work. Read more

Review:I love Edward G. Griffin. I will order another copy since my neighbor "mislaid" my copy when I borrowed it to her
and she can't seem to find it. This is a very accurate discription of the powers hat be who control medicine. Read more

Review:Amazon should not allow publishers to market PDF galleys of their books as e-books. The lines of text in this book does NOT reformat themsleves to fit on mobile screens, so you have to scroll back and forth horizontally to read every line. Useless, ridiculous. It's not an e-book, it's basically just pictures of a print book. I want a refund. Read more

Review:DBT is an amazing tool for changing your outlook on life, this therapy has made me capable of having a life worth living. I have mental freedom like I've never felt before. I hope they start teaching this stuff in schools it is essential to have if you were brought up by parents who didn't know how to regulate their own emotions therefor not being able to teach their children the importance of mindfulness, self love, calm communication during stressful times and so much more.

Review:I purchased this book when our oldest was first diagnosed with having some sensory processing difficulties. The book contains a wealth of ideas for sensory challenged children and each of the activities is sectioned within a chapter pertaining to a particular sense, like vestibular activities, tactile activites, auditory, etc., so that you can customize your play regime specifically to the needs of your child (or just try a little of them all, they are great fun!) This book outways any fancy toy... Read more

Review:I heard the author interviewed on radio and thought the book sounded interesting. When I got it, I decided it was way over my head. My husband had no interest in it, so we donated it to charity. It may be a great book for someone in this field. Read more

Review:Originally I read this from my local library but was so impressed that I ordered it for my permanent book collection from Amazon. Some fascinating and innovative treatments for brain injury. I am keeping this for future reference in case anyone of my family or friends (God forbid) should need a second opinion in the event of a TBI. Written in a way easy for laymen to understand, but not in any way condescending. Highly recommended. Read more
