Summary
An astonishing new scientific discovery called neuroplasticity is overthrowing the centuries-old notion that the adult human brain is fixed and unchanging. It is, instead, able to change its own structure and function, even into old age.
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.

Wow!
Extremely interesting, fascinating read. So much traditional medical knowledge is a load of rubbish! All doctors should read this book!
However, I would get a paper version. The narrator has such a monotonous droning way of speaking, and his intonation is so strange sometimes the meaning of the sentence is lost by emphasising the wrong word.

it's SO GOOD I'm reading the book
Thank you 😊 finely some doctors understand.
35 years ago I lost part of my brain in a car accident (no blood supply) and 5 years later I fully recovered.
isn't funny that my death certificate was issued and revoked.
Thank you for your professionalism.

Such an fascinating book
Not just dry facts but deeply moving and vivid stories. They are interesting, touching and eye-opening. It’s a science book and the science is simply inspirational. This has been an unmissable a few hours of fun. It is also very well narrated.

Informative, interesting and a pleasure to listen
This audio book is great if you struggle to read or don't have the time to read. It's informative, and interesting right until the end.
I'd recommend it to anyone interested in this topic.

Interesting stuff, applicable to all.
A little bit slow to start, but then very interesting stuff, including something's I was not aware of despite reading about the subject previously.
