The Brain That Changes Itself: Stories of Personal Triumph from the Frontiers of Brain Science (James H. Silberman Books)
by: Norman Doidge


Editorial Review:

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.

Customer Reviews:

Avg. Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0

Incontrovertible Evidence For Neuroplasticity:

Doidge makes a convincing case for neuroplasticity by presenting a wealth of research evidence and case studies that show the brain continually changes itself *throughout a person's life* (hence the title). His book shows that the human brain is more plastic than previously thought and lays to rest the long-held beliefs that (i) each brain function is localized (or mapped) to only one specific part of the brain (localization) and (ii) the neural pathways in the brain become more or less fixed after we reach... more info

Reviving psychoanalysis?:

This is a fascinating book, full of interesting stories about how various people have been able to live better lives by changing their brains--even cases that were once considered hopeless, like stroke victims. The focus is "plasticity," the idea that the brain is constantly growing and changing, and that various techniques can make it change and grow in desired ways.
Doidge knows that the brain is not infinitely changeable. Alas, he leaves the reader with little idea when it is and when it isn't.... more info

The next step:

I have been interested in brain research for years and have read numerous books on the subject. This book is the next step in my learning. I am delighted and have recommended this book to others who are excited about it also.

Inspiring:

The current science of neuroplasticity is described in depth and in quite understandable terms to the layman. The stories add a very readable interest to the science.
