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 theyve 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.

 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.

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.

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!!!

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.
