About this listen

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.

Very detailed. It was recommended to me by my psychologist. After listening to it the first time cover to cover, I now use it as a sleep aid as the narration is so calming and purely does justice to the book.

Excellent
