About book The Woman Who Changed Her Brain: And Other Inspiring Stories Of Pioneering Brain Transformation (2012)
I was real interested at the start of this book about how this woman changed her brain. And this is explained that she did a simple exercise to get her juices going. But then the book stops all explaining, and simply goes into a sales pitch. One customer success story after another. It wouldn't be bad if these success stories had anything more than "I couldn't do things, after this program, I can". If the success stories were used as mechanisms to convey how they succeeded, so that the reader can undertake the exercises at home. But no dice. This book won't teach you anything how to improve your life. It will sell you on the Arrowsmith program, and that's it's ultimate purpose. This is marketing, plain and simple. A whole book's worth of marketing for one program. Excellent book - everyone should read this. Before I read it I knew you could improve some things like memory but I had no idea you could actually completely fix a learning disability. And even if you don't have a diagnosed disability everyone has areas of weakness that can be improved. I think a lot of people are dealing with at least minor learning disabilities they may not even be aware of. Also if you have young children this book is an excellent tool in learning to recognize the areas of weakness they might have so they can be addressed early. It made me realize I don't have to just live with the problems I have (like getting lost all the time), I can actually do something about it.

I was hoping for a book citing research and process, I was disappointed in both regards.

Really worth a read! I would love to work with the Arrowsmith Foundation at some point.
