643: Change Your Brain, Change Your Life with Dr. Daniel Amen

47 minutes

The most important organ that we need to take care of is our brain. Yet it's also the organ most people ignore, even though it influences every thought we have, every decision we make, and every emotion we feel. From our finances to our relationships, our brains shape nearly every aspect of our lives.

That's why I'm so excited to introduce you to Dr. Daniel Amen. Dr. Amen is one of the world's leading experts on brain health, a double board-certified psychiatrist, founder of Amen Clinics, and the author of more than 40 books, including Change Your Brain, Change Your Life. In his clinics, they've scanned nearly 300,000 brains, giving him a unique understanding of what helps the brain thrive and what damages it over time.

In our conversation, Dr. Amen shares his BRIGHT MINDS framework, which addresses the major risk factors affecting brain health, what most people misunderstand about free will, and simple daily habits that will help you think better, feel better, and live a better life.
