"Unchain Your Brain" by Daniel G. Amen

book review by Riley Burnham 8/11/2022

pretty good stuff: basically elaborating how addictions affect the physical brain [using scanning techniques to see results], & how different types of addictions/behaviors/lifestyles can alter these impacts [including some improvement]

sugars, caffeines, types of drugs, lack of sleep... all impact the neurosystem

the author operates an apparently successful treatment facility; & states that often his patients change their behaviors ONCE they see their brain-scans [showing damage/impairment], relating their "brain-envy" to healthier brains as an additional motivation

good book, reiterates the notion of varying problems associated w/ addictions [even classifying 6 different basic types], & offering ways to treat or address these issues
