In "Change Your Brain, Change Your Life," Dr. Daniel G. Amen offers a groundbreaking look into how the brain influences our everyday lives and behaviors, including our emotions, anxiety levels, and decision-making processes. This best-selling masterpiece unveils the power of the human brain and the remarkable possibility that lies within the realm of neuroscience to transform lives by modifying the brain itself. With compelling scientific evidence, Dr. Amen dismantles the myth that we are stuck with the brain we are born with, introducing instead a hopeful narrative that through understanding and nurturing our brain's health, we can significantly alter our psychological and emotional well-being. Dr. Amen provides readers with unique "brain prescriptions" that transcend traditional approaches, targeting the root causes of a myriad of psychological issues. From quelling anxiety with simple breathing techniques to combatting depression by killing automatic negative thoughts (ANTs), and managing anger through nutritional adjustments, each strategy is backed by rigorous research and Dr. Amen's extensive clinical experience. This book is not just a guide to understanding the brain's impact on behavior but a practical manual to improving every aspect of mental health. Through a blend of engaging anecdotes and actionable advice, "Change Your Brain, Change Your Life" empowers readers to take charge of their brain health, leading to profound and lasting changes in their lives.

If you can catch them at the moment they occur and correct them, you take away the power they have over you. When a negative thought goes unchallenged, your mind believes it and your body reacts to it. ANTs have an illogical logic. By bringing them into the open and examining them on a conscious level, you can see for yourself how little sense it really makes to think these kinds of things to yourself. You take back control over your own life instead of leaving your fate to hyperactive limbic-conditioned negative thought patterns. Sometimes people have trouble talking back to these grossly unpleasant thoughts because they
