This book changed my life

Reading this book really helped me understand how important serotonin is in maintaining a happy, healthy attitude toward life. It is written very well for regular people like to to understand. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to help themselves, for a better attitude, helping maintain weight and any pain issues.

One of the Best Books of Its Kind

The scientific explanations are crystal clear, the advice thoughtful and lucid, and the writing exemplary. This is an excellent book about the mysterious chemistry of the brain and how naturally to enhance your levels of serotonin.

Praise from "The Care and Feeding of Your Brain" Author

Congrats on a good review of this neurotransmitter that is so key in so much of how we behave, and which can be influenced by so many things around us. Nice focus. Recommend "The Care and Feeding of Your Brain" for a general view of all things that affect the brain and behavior...Kenneth Giuffre MD

A lifesaver for me!

I had suffered from depression for more than 25 years, off and on, and finally I was put on anti-depressants. I hated the side effects and eventually had to quit the meds. I came across this book, just a small mass produced paperback book and the information, although simple has changed my life. I no longer have mood swings, dark brooding periods or headaches. The author takes a lot of time to explain the physiology behind it all. If the science is too much for the reader than he/she can just get to the nitty gritty of it all. The method she proposes is simple for anyone to follow. My husband was very skeptical about a book changing one's life but I had no choice but to give a chance. I'm forever grateful to the author for writing this book. My family has a wife and mother now who isn't a Jekyll and Hyde show.
