Product Description:
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.

Rating : - Intersting, thought-provoking and hopeful
This is a wonderful book - easy to read and extremely well researched. It gave me tremendous hope for a brain injured person in my family. I would read it when I felt depressed and would get an instant booster shot of hope. Highly, highly recommended!
