“Started it, read some, and finding it not right for right now. Some books grab me immediately, and some books work at different times. This one will stay on my shelf, and I expect I'll read it in bits. A good resource with some interesting information, research and insights.”

If you ever believed that humans can't change then this book (among others in this powerful field) should dramatically change your view.”

“This book will blow your mind! Doidge discusses and gives case examples of neuroplasticity - the ability of the brain to change itself. So far, he seems to be giving validity to some of my core beliefs: (1) We become whatever we think about. (2) Instead of teaching kids "compensations" for going around learning difficulties, we ought to figure out the exact nature of the problem and then focus like lasers on overcoming them! This book is a must-read if you are at all interested in developing the power of your brain. ”

Yes | No“This book provides examples of people whose brain maps have been altered or are different from the norm, yet they are able to accomplish various every-day tasks using parts of their brains that doctors previously thought not possible. It explains some of the methods doctors used to measure, to test and manipulate brain functions which resulted in the medical industry having a whole new way of looking at the brain's neuroplasticity capabilities thus challenging some long held beliefs of neuro science. It shows how doctors were able to map the human brain and have it perform certain functions. The book shows some of the challenges doctors went through to change the paradigms of industry experts regarding the structure and plasticity of the brain. I found the book to be a bit slow at the beginning but from the mid-point on it was more interesting. It went deeper into showing the science and technology used to obtain the results and how doctors through neuroimaging can see how the brain functions right down to the neuron level. It is a good primer for people looking to know a little bit about neuroplasticity. ”

“Fantastic to understand how the brain grows and repairs and the importance of exercise, both physical and mental, to enhance effectiveness.”
