review 1: The author didn't seem to advocate anything that was much different from all the other dieting/weight loss/nutrition books you see nowadays. His angle was that he concentrated on the nutrients that affected different parts of the brain. In this respect, his approach was different. He advocates a lifestyle change (as do the other "successful" weight loss books). Since I need to lose some weight myself, I'll reserve final judgement until I give it a try.
review 2: If you've read other Amen books you'll find a lot of familiar territory covered in this one. Whole chapters on supplements and exercises for brain health seem to have been lifted from Amen's "Magnificent Mind for Any Age" and placed in this one -- at least he appears to be consistent in his recommen... moredations. His take on weight loss starts from the way the brain works, as you would expect given his background. Certainly contained some interesting ideas, but there were plenty of the expected ideas you see in other weight loss books out there. I listened on audio. This book had too many charts and lists that were very difficult to follow -- the appendices took more than an hour to read, and many were tables that were of little value on audio. Amen references a website for further information, including bibliography/reference. In summary, reading one of Amen's books appears to be sufficient to understand what he will say in the others he's written. less
