USER REVIEWS

"This book is a good introduction to brain/body integration work. The illustrations are a bit crude and unimaginative and a bit off-putting. The book is essentially good for learning a few basic brain/body integration exercises. If you're beyond the basics, look elsewhere."

"This book offers great ways to overcome the impact of stress and emotions on the learning process. As an educator, I have come to believe that these issues are at the root of many "learning disabilities" that are becoming so common. I honestly hope that someday these sorts of activities will become an automatic part of our educational system from early childhood. This book is very practical, so I would recommend reading up on the neurobiology that underlies the connection between learning and emotion. If you do, you will be very convinced of the importance of these methods. Take a look at this, too! Power Brain Kids"

"I haven't even finished reading the book yet, but I would whole-heartedly recommend it to anyone who is looking to create a greater sense of clarity and well-being in his or her life. I've been doing the "Quick Six" and have noticed an unmistakable increase in my enjoyment of life. I'm working on a dissertation and these exercises have helped me be able to better focus, concentrate, and stay on task--a true God-send since I lean toward ADD and my mind tends to jump all over the place. I've even taught the Quick Six to my Educational Psychology students to help them get through finals. Doing the exercises makes me feel kind of silly, but hey--they work!!"

"Based on reviews, I was so certain I would like this book, I ordered 2--one for a gift. I was hugely disappointed. The information would have fit in a pamphlet instead of spread out in an oversized book with big margins. I don't like being repeatedly told what I am about to read and then re-reading it at least two more times, sometimes on the same page, and it is riddled with unnecessary cutesy drawings. I have found very similar information free on the internet."

"This is the book I have been looking for for a long time. We had private BrainGym classes with a BrainGym instructor to help my son's social skills and attention. It worked fine. But it is just too expensive($85/hour). What she did to my son is just what the book describes about ten step change process. In brainGym it is called repatterning/balance. It is very powerful. I would like to learn. So I can do it for my son. But none of BrainGym books give you complete description/steps to do it. Instead they recommend you to take their classes/workshop for several hundred dollars to learn it. It is like a secret. And you need to pay several hundred dollars in order to get the secret. This book is so good and it gives comprehensive instructions. And it tells the secret. And it is easy to follow and implement. I recommend everybody get it and try it. It will work on many areas."
