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.

Great book, less than inspiring reading
Excellent book, the reading performance was pretty bad, but you get used to it after a while.

Well researched.
Thank you, Dr Doidge, for this masterpiece.

Excellent
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.

A good book but a pity about the reliance on Freud
This was a good book but Freud? Really? That there is only one letter difference between "Freud" and "fraud" should be taken as a sign regardless of one's relationship with chance and karma. The inclusion of his ideas in an otherwise interesting work seriously devalues the whole but it's worth the read (or listen) nonetheless.

Fascinating - if a little morally questionable
This is a great read. I was a little surprised and disappointed that a man as intelligent as Doidge seems totally nonplussed about the fairly egregious ethical violations described in this book in relation to animal welfare of test subjects. Stapling kittens eyes shut and stitching body parts of monkeys together is obviously shaky moral ground to say the least and at least some measure of representation for PETA's argument (as awful as they are) in a non sarcastic or dismissive manner was lacking in my opinion. This is a fascinating read though and a must for understanding our most powerful organ.

enlightening!
Everyone whether they're interested in Neuroplasticity for themselves or someone else, or not, needs to read this book. People need to start understanding the power of their brain and start looking for programs which will help them get their lives back. Complacency is not an excuse, when access to this kind of educational material is so easily available. MCS, CFSME, Fibro, all these things are a Limbic System injury, which is making the body sick, this injury/illness can be fixed.
