What’s so great about this book is how accessible and easy to understand it is, especially given such complex subject matter. VanEs makes sure to thoroughly explain and define brain makeup and chemistry, as well as the effects of our choices on brain makeup and chemistry. He makes sure that readers adequately understand the complexity of the brain and how it works before breaking down how different aspects like diet, medication, social activities, etc. influence proper or improper functioning of the brain.What I appreciated most about this book is the level of detail, clarity, and organization that went into it.

Not only did I learn what kinds of foods, activities, or supplements would help me as my brain ages, but also learned the specific reasons why they serve as aids. I found myself taking notes and wanting to relay information to people I know.This book is relevant to anyone who picks it up, specifically because it outlines how the brain changes as we age and grow.

I found this book by Howard VanEs to be very well written. It takes a lot of skill to present factual information on health and physiology in a way that is both very informative, and at the same time a pleasure to read. Mr. VanEs writes in a way that is easy for the layman to read and understand, while still presenting a wealth of valuable, well documented, information. Even though I’ve read many books on the brain, this was a great refresher for me on the things I need to continue doing to keep my brain well (especially as I get older) and it also discussed some supplements that were new to me and that I’ll follow up on with more research, as I decide whether to add them to my arsenal!
