Your Brain, The Engine to Your Body, is a really great book for those interested in how the brain works. It provides a clear and detailed explanation filled with helpful illustrations that make it a lot easier to understand the sometimes complex information. I especially like the sections that include tips and tricks for getting better sleep, staying hydrated, etc, and I feel that I have a better understanding of how the brain works after reading it.
I read another of this author's books before getting this one, titled Biomechanics of Your Body, which covers all of the bones and muscles. Like that book, I will keep this handy for quick reference, especially so I can remember the tips and go over the exercise.
I recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about how the brain works and how to keep it healthy.

The brain truly is the most crucial organ of the body. In her book, Tracy Markley introduces tips, tricks, facts, and exercises to keep your brain healthy and strong. From hydration to eating the right foods, exercising, and yes, breathing, this book is filled with information that will enrich your mind to the point of wanting to care for your brain better. Appropriate for readers of all ages, there are ways to care for your brain and have it be at its best.
I immediately noticed the amount of facts present in this book. They were well-presented in not being too descriptive but clear, and most importantly Markley simply stated the facts without preaching. I do love when authors have deep amounts of passion and love that carries through while showcasing the research, tips, and exercises. I also love how simple the steps are, and we don't have to make drastic changes all at once to improve our brain health. The book was exceptionally written, edited, and structured. For these reasons, it’s my honor to award this book five stars.

Whether you are someone struggling with disease or not, this book is highly recommended for you. Understanding the control center of our body, the brain, helps us to curb harmful habits and train our brain towards beneficial actions. I especially liked the grief hotline shared here. Clearly the author knows her subject well as is evident in the case studies she has shared. I recommend all books by this author. (Reviewed via Kindle Unlimited)
