Reassuring and hopeful, this book shows us that our brain is not a machine; it can heal itself, rewire itself, and with practice we can achieve results that had been thought impossible only a few years ago. Neuroplasticity is the promising ability of our brain to compensate for damaged areas or even to improve what we've got. Doidge's case studies and interviews with neuroscientists give us an exciting look into this new field.
