Norman Doidge's inspiring guide to the new brain science explains all of this and more \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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.","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51376757309663,"sku":"9780143113102","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/hP8pXz42fw9780143113102.webp?v=1789225260"},{"product_id":"the-brains-way-of-healing-remarkable-discoveries-and-recoveries-from-the-frontiers-of-neuroplasticity-paperback","title":"The Brain's Way of Healing: Remarkable Discoveries and Recoveries from the Frontiers of Neuroplasticity - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNEW YORK TIMES \u003c\/i\u003eBESTSELLER \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e-bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eThe Brain That Changes Itself \u003c\/i\u003epresents astounding advances in the treatment of brain injury and illness.

Doidge explores cases where patients alleviated chronic pain; recovered from debilitating strokes, brain injuries, and learning disorders; overcame attention deficit and learning disorders; and found relief from symptoms of autism, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and cerebral palsy. And we learn how to vastly reduce the risk of dementia, with simple approaches anyone can use. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e For centuries it was believed that the brain's complexity prevented recovery from damage or disease. \u003ci\u003eThe Brain's Way of Healing\u003c\/i\u003e shows that this very sophistication is the source of a unique kind of healing. As he did so lucidly in \u003ci\u003eThe Brain That Changes Itself\u003c\/i\u003e, Doidge uses stories to present cutting-edge science with practical real-world applications, and principles that everyone can apply to improve their brain's performance and health.","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51376797581535,"sku":"9780143128373","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/EjqmVFzooA9780143128373.webp?v=1789225362"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/norman-doidge.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
