About this listen
Parenting is about to get easier—and a whole lot more effective….
In a time when so many children and young adults seem to be struggling, parents are looking for help in bringing up mentally healthy kids who are equipped to thrive. Finally, evidence-based help is now available for overwhelmed parents who are trying their best but feel like they’re falling short.
#1 New York Times bestselling author and neuropsychiatrist Dr. Daniel Amen and child psychologist Dr. Charles Fay have teamed up to reveal what’s missing from most parenting books. It’s the fact that you need to address both the brain and the mind of your child (and yourself) in order to effectively raise good and strong humans.
In this groundbreaking book where neuroscience meets love and logic, parents are given practical tools to help children of all ages go from behavioral problems like defiance, meltdowns, and power struggles to being:
- Responsible, confident, kind, and resilient
- Better prepared to make good decisions
- More focused and motivated
- Better able to have healthy relationships, and more….
Let Dr. Amen and Dr. Fay help you learn how to be the parent you've always dreamed you could be―and raise great kids who are on their way to reaching their full potential, including their best possible mental health.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

New hope for those suffering from conditions like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, addictions, PTSD, ADHD, and more. Though incidence of these conditions is skyrocketing, for the past four decades standard treatment hasn’t much changed, and success rates in treating them have barely improved, either. Meanwhile, the stigma of the “mental illness” label - damaging and devastating on its own - can often prevent sufferers from getting the help they need. Brain specialist and best-selling author Dr. Daniel Amen aims to change all that.

It challenges the accepted narrative of spending decades working a traditional nine-to-five job, pinching pennies, and finally earning the right to retirement at age 65, and instead offers listeners an alternative: Forget everything you've ever learned about money so you can actually live the life you want.

Eye-opening book
I have been searching and waiting for this book for many years. I know Dr. Amen through his books and have been following him for a long time. My son is 12 years old now, and I'm lost—or was lost. This book is a life changer. I saw its effects immediately. As parents, we all need to read this book.
And thanks to Mr. Jim Frangione for his amazing narration. Just a small point: at the beginning, instead of Ph.D., he says PDH, which is not very important.

One of the most impactful parenting books I’ve ever read
So much information, but not written in an overwhelming way. I found that it challenged me in a way that I was excited about.
This is a book I will read over and over again.
