An astonishing new science called neuroplasticity is overthrowing the centuries-old notion that the human brain is immutable. In this revolutionary look at the brain, psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Norman Doidge, M.D., provides an introduction to both the brilliant scientists championing neuroplasticity and the people whose lives they’ve transformed. From stroke patients learning to speak again to the remarkable case of a woman born with half a brain that rewired itself to work as a whole, The Brain That Changes Itself will permanently alter the way we look at our brains, human nature, and human potential.
This is an important, groundbreaking and fascinating book. For another, written by another brilliant psychiatrist, I recommend
| Customer Rating: | | That's How the Light Gets In: Memoir of a Psychiatrist by Susan Rako, M.D. The title comes from a song by Leonard Cohen: "There is a crack, a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in." Rako's book is remarkably candid, insightful, and wonderfully well-written. The writing just flows. |
Setting New Goals
| Customer Rating: | | I was impressed by the various examples presented of the plasticity of the brain and realized that this carefully written book would be helpful to anyone challenged by the effects of aging on one's capabilities. I have benefited from Posit Science's Brain Fitness and Cortex Insight programs and this book encouraged me to continue to exercise my brain to enjoy improvement that comes in small steps. |
Very exciting and hopeful research
| Customer Rating: | | Fascinating possibilities outlined in this book give hope for people with brain challenges. I couldn't put it down and am excited about the hope it offers for so many. |
You can learn, teach, and heal better
| Customer Rating: | This book contains all kinds of fascinating theoretical information about the human brain, and how it works and can change itself. But its greatest value for me lies in all the practical ideas it offers on how to learn and teach better. It also extends hope and motivation to anybody who is trying to recover from a loss of body function due to brain damage caused by illness or injury. We have so much more potential for self-healing than we realize, if only we go about it in the right way, and persist, against all odds.

The Brain is an amazing machine
| Customer Rating: | This is a fantastic and challenging read! It breaks old ideas and challenges us to consider new thoughts on how versatile the brain might be. This is a great read for teachers, parents, and anyone who works with really young children. There is great help given to those of us approaching our 50's-60's! My book choice of the year!
