A very enlightening read. The author proposes a new paradigm in approaching mental health: the dynamic physical brain itself. I enjoyed reading about the how these exciting new methods of dynamic brain scanning are leading to new models of mental health. The book is well organized and has many case

examples to illustrate the featured principles.

Very interesting, some really good practical tips on how to deal with certain hang-ups/habits. Interesting theory about how the brain impacts various mood/behavior disorders. Good stuff to think about. I would recommend this book.
