Rent Use Your Brain to Change Your Age: Secrets to Look, Feel, and Think Younger Every Day

The subtitle of the books is secrets to look, feel, and think younger everyday. Dont take that too seriously as far as the outward cosmetics of your appearance. The thrust of this book is combating Alzheimers disease. That is not a bad thing, mind you, but the title might be misleading to some readers. Amen has written something of a cheerleaders book: Eat the rainbow! Yay! Lifelong learning! Yay! Exercise! Yay! Defeat Alzheimers! There is little that a reader who had kept up with current research in the field will find new, though the reading might inspire action rather than passive understanding. I enjoyed it because the topic is of particular interest to me, and the information was very practical. However, I find fault in two ways. First, Amen doesnt hesitate to frequently mention his own paid online services and his wifes cookbooks. At times, the book sounds like little more than an infomercial. Once is enough for the fans, doc. After that you sound like a moneygrubbing nag. Second, I listened to it in audio clearly. This is a terrible book for that format. There are so many lists: organic foods to eat, nonorganics to avoid, best fish, Glycemic Index ratings for food, etc. All these lists make this book nearly impossible in audio form. If you want the lists, anecdotes, and advertisements, choose the paper or electronic version so you can refer back easily.
