Frequently Asked Questions

General Pricing and Payment

Why should teens and young adults care about brain health?

Your brain is involved in everything you do and everything you are, including how you think, how you feel, how you act, and how well you get along with other people. Your brain is the key to living the life you want and achieving your goals. Because the brain is still developing until you reach age 25, it is critical to learn to love and optimize your brain as it develops.

How can an optimized brain help you?

· Have greater academic success

· Get a job you like

· Gain confidence to start your own business

· Think more creatively

· Meet your deadlines

· Take smarter risks

· Reach your full potential

· Give you a competitive edge

· Help you achieve success at work

· Have better relationships

· Be physically healthier (because you make better decisions)

· Be wealthier (because you make smarter financial decisions)

What are some signs that your brain is troubled?

If your brain is troubled, you are much more likely to have problems, including issues with learning, planning, focus, organization, moods, anxiety, memory, stress, and relationships. The good news is that this course can help you enhance brain health to overcome such problems.

Are all brains the same?

The brain SPECT imaging work at Amen Clinics has revealed that not all brains are alike. In fact, we have identified brain activity patterns that are associated with certain personality traits. We have discovered 5 primary brain types:

· Balanced Brain

· Spontaneous Brain

· Persistent Brain

· Sensitive Brain

· Cautious Brain

In this course, you’ll learn how to determine your brain type. Knowing your brain type will help you know more about how you interact with the world, but it will also help you know how to optimize your specific brain to smooth out some of the rough edges in your life and understand what is more likely to make you happy.

Do I need to be a doctor or scientist to understand the material in this course?
