Product Description
“Fascinating. Doidge’s book is a remarkable and hopeful portrait of the endless adaptability of the human brain.” – Oliver Sacks
The discovery that our thoughts can change the structure and function of our brains – even into old age – is the most important breakthrough in neuroscience in four centuries. In this revolutionary look at the brain, bestselling author, psychiatrist, and psychoanalyst Norman Doidge, M.D., introduces both the brilliant scientists championing this new science of neuroplasticity and the astonishing progress of the people whose lives they’ve transformed. Introducing principles we can all use as well as a riveting collection of case histories – stroke patients cured, a woman with half a brain that rewired itself to work as a whole, learning and emotional disorders overcome, IQs raised, and aging brains rejuvenated – The Brain That Changes Itself has “implications for all human beings, not to mention human culture, human learning and human history” (The New York Times).
“Readers will want to read entire sections aloud and pass the book on to someone who can benefit from it….Links scientific experimentation with personal triumph in a way that inspires awe.” - The Washington Post

 amazing October 15, 2008
This is such a revelation. The book is so easy to read.
What an amazing brain we have been given.
I marvel the older I get at Gods' wonderful creation and how he made us.
And we are learning this with these sorts of discoveries.
A great book and so very easy to read and understand.
Thank you.
Recommended to sooo many people October 13, 2008
I first listened to this book on my audible download and was so impressed I ordered a copy for myself and two copies to share with the counselors that I supervise. I also have been recommending it to a lot of the parents whose children are my clients. I work for children's services in Mental Health. This stuff is exciting.
 Fearless October 11, 2008
I was concerned about an effective older age, I found reassurance in this book and techniques to assist. Beside my selfish motives I continue to wonder about the abilities of some to dedicate thier lives to helping others, the discoveries they make and the hurdles people climb.
 The Brain That Changes Itself October 9, 2008
Received the book in a timely manner and in perfect condition. Unfortunately, I have not had time to read this book.
Probably shouldn't be reviewing but I want the message out of my email!!!
Accessible Science October 7, 2008
Dr Doigdge does an amazing job of teaching difficult scientific concepts in a manner that made me want to keep reading because I was understanding it. Who would have thought that a nonfiction book about brain plasticity would become a page turner? I hope he writes another book about the brain. As he points out, we are discovering so much about it and at a fast pace.
