Learned a lot but not my Favourite from Daniel

Great Book to listen to and I learned a lot.

Daniel has done a great job summarizing the negatives called ‘Dragons’

The main message of the book:

Problems aren’t mental health issues; they are brain health issues. Whether we listen to our problems depends on the health of our brain and the strength of our PFC (Prefrontral Cortex)

I have multiple books from Daniel. This is not my favorite one. I enjoyed more Feel Better Fast and Memory Rescue because they are more solution oriented. Also, I have wished that this was read by Daniel because he has a unique style of delivering the message.

Yes worth listening!

Very Helpful

I really enjoyed this book. The author instructs you on how much your health and surroundings affect the way our Brain works. It wasn’t all Brain science information. So many easy to understand exercises
to use in every day situations.
It’s not a self-help book with edgy type ideas.
It’s a full explanation of how our Brains work with Medical field research and treatments to help.
Definitely worth listening to.

Good premise, bad execution

I really liked the idea behind this book. Unfortunately I’m struggling with two aspects.

Firstly, I don’t find the narrator very engaging. The tone used and monotonous way of speaking makes it feel like the book is narrated by an automate.

Secondly, while I enjoy the author’s efforts at giving concrete examples of each “dragon’s” effect on people, I feel like there is too much emphasis placed upon the coronavirus pandemic.

Honestly, it feels like the author is trying to convince his readers to consult with him or his team because of the current pandemic.

I am less than a quarter of the way through the book and I honestly have no interest or motivation in finishing it.
