Healing The Modern Brain – by Dr. Drew Ramsey

We previously reviewed Dr. Ramsey’s Eat To Beat Depression & Anxiety, and this time [it briefly covers that ground again, and then] it’s more about comprehensive brain health and mental fitness.

He tackles this in a methodical fashion, first briefly covering the need for mental fitness, and the obstacles to same, before the main part of the book—which covers the “how”.

The “how” in question is multifaceted, and the “nine tenets” mentioned in the subtitle cover very obvious things like diet, exercise, sleep, etc, as well as less obvious yet very important things like connection, engagement, purpose, and so forth, and some things that don’t get talked about much at all elsewhere, such as the processes of grounding and unburdening, as he describes them.

The style is mostly narrative with many anecdotes to illustrate points, but with practical advice woven throughout also, all very readable. There’s a respectable bibliography at the back.

Bottom line: if you’d like your brain health to get gradually better instead of gradually worse, this book can help set you on the right track.
