The Brain That Changes Itself: Stories of Personal Triumph from the Frontiers of Brain Science

The Brain That Changes Itself: Stories of Personal Triumph from the Frontiers of Brain Science - Norman Doidge I've found this book very interesting. The concept of brain functioning is widely discussed nowadays and this book follows the trend. However, it gives us hope that if we gonna get injured we may still function on a high standard level thanks to our brain's flexibility, its adjustment to changes. It's a completely new direction after some theories claiming that brain is fixed and unchangeable. The author takes the reader on a walk, first he presents the problem, gives some case study and explanation and then possible outcomes and opportunities for healing. Very good, concentrated on a given subject. I liked it a lot.
