Dr. Suzuki is a neurologist based in New York who has made great strides in understanding the way exercise, meditation, lifestyle changes, etc. can influence and essentially change the way your brain works. I first came across her while watching some videos on YouTube, and I have seen a number of her talks there.
As the title states this book is a personal program that she undertook to change her life, and as far as I can tell from the book it has succeeded tremendously. It's been 18 years since his book was released so I can only assume that everything is still working good for her as the information she gives in the book is something that should work for everyone.
She takes us on a journey that started when she was in University and has continued throughout her life. It started when she fell in love with the study of the brain, and as far as I can tell from this book it has never waned at all. All of the information she gives is related back to how it is affecting the brain, and she sites numerous articles to back up her conclusions and show that the research is very valid. Some of the topics covered are: how memories are formed, how exercise really affects the brain, a look at how extra size can make you smarter, stress responses, your brains reward system, insight and divergent thinking, and meditation.
There's an excellent book that gives a lot of very good information that should assist virtually everybody who reads it.
Highly recommended.
