In The Brain That Changes Itself, Norman Doidge described the main breakthrough inside our understanding of the mind in four hundred years: the breakthrough that the mind can change its structure and function in response to about The Brain’s Method of Healing: Impressive Discoveries and Recoveries in the Frontiers of Neuroplasticity mental experience-what we call neuroplasticity.

His revolutionary brand-new book shows, for the first time, the way the amazing process of neuroplastic healing does work. It describes organic, noninvasive avenues in to the brain supplied by the types of energy around us-light, sound, vibration, movement-which go through our senses and our bodies to awaken the brain’s very own healing capacities without making unpleasant unwanted effects. Doidge explores cases where patients alleviated many years of chronic pain or retrieved from incapacitating strokes that got plateaued; children in the autistic range or with learning disorders normalizing; symptoms of multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and cerebral palsy radically improved, and additional near-miracle recoveries. And we understand how to greatly reduce the threat of dementia with simple approaches anyone can use.

As he did so lucidly in THE MIND That Adjustments Itself, Doidge uses stories to present thrilling, cutting-edge technology with useful real-world applications, and principles that everyone can apply to enhance their brain’s overall performance and health.
