Synopsis

If you want to feel happier, more optimistic, more joyful, and resilient, Dr. Amen's groundbreaking new book is for you.
We've all felt anxious, sad, traumatized, grief-stricken, stressed, angry, or hopeless at some point in life. It's perfectly normal to go through emotional crises or have periods when you feel panicked or out of sorts. It is how you respond to these challenges that will make all the difference in how you feel--not just immediately, but also in the long run. Unfortunately, many people turn to self-medicating behaviors, such as overeating, drugs, alcohol, risky sexual behavior, anger, or wasting time on mindless TV, video games, Internet surfing, or shopping. And even though these behaviors may give temporary relief from feeling bad, they usually only prolong and exacerbate the problems--or cause other, more serious ones.

Is it possible to feel better--and make it last?

Renowned physician, psychiatrist, brain-imaging researcher, and founder of Amen Clinics Dr. Daniel Amen understands how critical it is for you to know what will help you feel better fast, now and later. In Feel Better Fast and Make It Last, you'll discover new, powerful brain-based strategies to quickly gain control over anxiety, worry, sadness, stress and anger, strengthening your resilience and giving you joy and purpose for a lifetime.

About this title

From the Back Cover

If you want to experience greater happiness in life, strengthen your brain.
Dr. Daniel Amen, a renowned psychiatrist and the founder of Amen Clinics, has learned that healthy brain function is correlated with improved

• joy
• energy
• resilience
• focus
• longevity
• relationships

• business success

• creativity

Unhealthy brain function, on the other hand, is associated with a higher incidence of

• sadness
• anxiety
• fear
• panic
• brain fog
• poor focus
• addictions
• domestic violence
• incarceration
• loneliness
• suicidal behaviors
• violence
• school failure
• divorce
• dementia

Fortunately, there is hope for those who suffer from the emotionally painful and sometimes life-altering effects of a less-than-healthy brain. In these pages, Dr. Amen will introduce you to the latest research, as well as clinical experience, to help you feel better fast and make it last.

No one feels joyful all the time, but with an understanding of how your brain, mind, and attachments work--and of strategies to enhance their functioning--you are more likely to love your life and feel better every day.
