Summary: Disappointing
Comment: I bought this book for my husband at his request, after having seen the author on television. He assumed the book would give specific instructions for improving his memory and other brain functions, but found it too full of generalizations. He threw out the book.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Helpful insight to anyone with depression
Comment: Though this sometimes gets quite clinical, the patient examples bring home much insight on how your brain functions... and helps you to function. I would recommend this for anyone who battles with depression / ocd or any other function of 'normal' daily life that they struggle to control.
