Rating: Summary: A Must read for everyone Review: Absolutely fantastic book.. The best book on health I have read this year (and I read a lot), easy read and potentially complicated material presented nicely. Dr Khalsa you should be commended for a monumental piece of work. Thank you
Rating: Summary: Inaccurate information about how the brain actually works Review: According to the information that is accessible to me about how the brain works, this book provides inaccurate facts. In The Amazing Brain by Robert Ornstein et al. we are told that the information moves from the axon to the dendrites. Brain Longevity says that the information moves from the dendrites to the axons.
Does the author know something new about brain function?
Rating: Summary: A synthesis of reality Review: As a 25 year nutrition advocate and 15 year member of the Life Extension Foundation and as a spiritual seeker, I found Dr. Khalsa's concepts of health and spirituality to reflect all that I have found to be true from many other sources. I wish this book had been available 25 years ago. I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading more of Khalsa's works.
Rating: Summary: An Important Book for Every Brain Review: Being in the age range of beginning forgetfulness, it's easy to feel that this is a normal part of life. Dr. Dharma's book really turned my head around (literally speaking!) to the idea that the brain is a physical organ, and can be nurtured as such. Using natural health--exercise, supplements, meditation and many other self-empowering techniques, we can reclaim our mental health. Middle age is often the time when we realize the fruits of our hard work and wisdom gained, and our lives can really take off. At this important time of our lives, brain power is of the utmost importance for learning ability and creativity. I am thankful that this book exists!
Rating: Summary: Amazingly Insightful Review: Dr. Khalsa has some amazing insights into our health. He has confirmed for me the things I'm discovering about my body and the American health system. Before reading his book, I was already doing the majority of the things for his Brain Longevity Program, but found that even at 34 yrs old, I was starting to have some memory issues. As he vividly describes the functions of the brain, various body chemicals, I think my excessive exercise has caused high cortisol levels. I will integrate his medicinal tonics and mind/yogic exercises to complete the program and begin doing that within the next couple weeks. I'm looking forward to improving my memory, brain functions. I love his case studies where he gives examples of all walks of life. This book is very well-written!!!

Rating: Summary: excellent, well written, good mix of science and explanation Review: Five years ago I received a nasty head injury. Before the accident I was pushing my neural limit, employed as a scientist concurrent with writing my doctoral disseration. I learned a great deal about how the jigsaw puzzle between our ears works. I bought the book because he stated the brain grows new neurons. I and friends who have had "spectacular recoveries" know this. The book is a multifaceted approach to how our neural networks, and our selves, integrate. Good work.
Rating: Summary: Excellent. This book offers hope to the hopeless! Review: Have not even finished this book yet and probably never will. I am hanging on every word. If you come to a place where you can no longer accept brain degeneration without a fight, this is your book.
Rating: Summary: It is an important book every one should read. Review: I am trying to order six copies for my family members, but cannot see the soft copy listed. It's one of the most important ideas to come out of the biological sciences; the disruption of normal cortisol production and the destruction it wreaks on the brain. It took a hard-working genius to put together the proven theories of Robert Sapolsky, Ph.D, and Herbert Benson, MD into a finished and readable form for us to follow. I profoundly thank Khalsa.theory.
Rating: Summary: very informative Review: I have learned alot, besides helping my knowledge about the workings of the brain in reference to nutrients. I know this info. will help my mom and dad coping with their ageing problems. I have a book and mailing one down to them in Fla.. I am going to hi-lite pertinent info. Thanks. Joe
