Meet the ninety year old doctor, who, with the aid of a few simple exercises, is still practising medicine. His is just one of the incredible stories brain expert Norman Doidge tells as he reveals our brain's remarkable ability to repair itself through the power of positive thought. In "The Brain That Changes Itself", Doidge introduces us to the fascinating stories at the cutting edge of the brain science and the emerging discipline of 'neuroplasticity'. We meet the stroke victim who unable to feed or dress himself learned to move and talk again, the woman with a rare brain condition that left her feeling as though she was perpetually falling but who through a series of exercises rewired her brain to overcome this and the maverick scientists over turning centuries of assumptions about the brain and it's capacity for renewal.Doidge shows how their incredible work is helping the blind to see, the deaf to hear and causing Nobel laureates to rethink our model of the brain. This remarkable book will leave you with a sense of wonder at the capabilities of the human brain and the power to change which lies within all of us.

I bought this book hoping to learn about the mind and how neuroplasticity relates to possible treatments for ocd, I didnt realise it would teach me so much more. It is a fascinating insight into the mind/brain connection how fascianating our brain power is and the possible uses of neuroplasticity for scores of different ailments from dyslexia to phantom limb pain. Well written for the layperson but thorough enough I'm sure to be of use to those in the field or anyone with interest in neuroscience. I must stress however that there a few references to animals being used for research puropses, be aware of that. All in all I'm very glad I purchased this book.
