Editorial Reviews for Brain That Changes Itself, The: Stories of Personal Triumph from the Frontiers of Brain Science
|
“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

Summary: Remarkable insight on the human brain from the frontiers of science
Comment: This has to be one of the most fascinated works I've come across in a while.
The main premise of the book is the extraordinary plasticity of the human brain. The author makes a compelling argument, supported by endless and very valuable examples, studies and facts to support this theory.
Some of the most exciting topics explore how the brain develops and learns, effects of certain disorders (i.e. obsessive-compulsive disorder), addictions and strokes on its function and current treatments that reverse these effects.
The author gives several recommendations for programs that can help young and aging brains stay alert and agile by following the latest research and applied scientific discoveries. The final parts of the book discuss how vision and culture's profound implications on the brain's neuroplasticity.
I highly recommended this book for all readers who may be remotely curious about the human physiology.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Giving it a Try
Comment: I am still reading this book but am well into the 2nd half. Very good reading, amazing discoveries. I am trying out some of what I have read to see if I can get my leg working again. Time will tell, also patience and endurance.
