innovative information accessible to the general public, thereby

"Once I started to read Rewire Your Brain, it was hard to stop.
John Arden has a gift for making complicated and advanced
scientific findings interesting and easy to understand. I have
not been reading much about brain structures, processes, and
neurotransmitters since studying first year psychology almost 30
years ago, a time when the knowledge in this field was quite
rudimentary. Rewire Your Brain presents 'old' knowledge and
concepts together with results of new research in at way that
gives you an updated in in 'how we are wired.' Even more
important, it gives hope and practical advice for both therapists
and their patients, but also for y individuals who want to
improve their memory, mood, or bad habits!"
-- Per A Straumsheim, Special Advisor, Norwegian Psychological
Association
"Dr. Arden tells us all about the brain in an accessible way, he
even animates it in some way, in contrast to brain researchers
who investigate the brain like an lifeless mechanism. In order to
maintain an active and flexible brain, the author shows practical
ways of neuropsychologically-competent mastery of brain.
Therefore the book is free of theoretical abstractions,
scientific dryness, and haughtiness."
--Gayane Shaverdian, Ph.D. Chair and Professor of the Department
of Applied Psychology, Yerevan State University, Armenia
"This book speaks of a universal language that breaks cultural
borders . People from the West will have a better understanding
of early Asian therapies and why it is effective; while those
from the East will appreciate the contribution of modern Western
perspectives . It gives a scientific explanation of how
therapies like meditation, chi-gong, exercise, hypnosis and other
non-traditional healing interventions can affect and
longevity. It will certainly rewire the mindsets of many public
readers."
--Isabel Echanis-Melgar, PhD., Chair, Committee on Clinical
Psychology, Psychological Association of the Philippines
