Is it possible to change your brain? Norman Doidge’s  inspiring guide to the new brain science explains all of this and  more\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn astonishing new science called neuroplasticity is  overthrowing the centuries-old notion that the human brain is immutable, and  proving that it is, in fact, possible to change your brain. Psychoanalyst,  Norman Doidge, M.D., traveled the country to meet both the brilliant scientists  championing neuroplasticity, its healing powers, and the people whose lives  they’ve transformed—people whose mental limitations, brain damage or brain  trauma were seen as unalterable. We see a woman born with half a brain that  rewired itself to work as a whole, blind people who learn to see, learning  disorders cured, IQs raised, aging brains rejuvenated, stroke patients learning  to speak, children with cerebral palsy learning to move with more grace,  depression and anxiety disorders successfully treated, and lifelong character  traits changed. Using these marvelous stories to probe mysteries of the body,  emotion, love, sex, culture, and education, Dr. Doidge has written an immensely  moving, inspiring book that will permanently alter the way we look at our  brains, human nature, and human potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrom the Trade Paperback edition.\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47133390143728,"sku":"9781101147115","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781101147115_p0.jpg?v=1763685232","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781101147115","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
