About this listen
This book is about the discovery that the human brain has its own unique way of healing.
For centuries we believed that the price we paid for our brain's complexity was that, compared to other organs, it was fixed and unregenerative - unable to recover from damage or illness. In his revolutionary new book, Norman Doidge turns this belief on its head.
The phenomenon of neuroplasticity - the discovery that the brain can change its own structure and function in response to mental experience - is the most important change in our understanding of the brain and mind since the beginning of modern science.
Here,Doidge shows how the amazing process of neuroplastic healing really works. When it is understood, it is often possible to radically improve - and even cure - many conditions thought to be irreversible.
Doidge introduces us to the doctors, therapists, and patients who are healing the brain without surgery or medication. We meet patients who have alleviated years of chronic pain; children on the autistic spectrum or with ADD or learning disorders, who have used neuroplastic techniques to complete normal education and become independent; sufferers who have seen symptoms of multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, brain injuries and cerebral palsy radically diminish; and we learn how to lower our risk of dementia by 60 percent.
Through hopeful, astonishing stories, The Brain's Way of Healing explains how mind, brain, and body and the energies around us work together in health and healing.

Transformative
I bought this book initially as a hard copy - but I was too sore to sit still and read it. Listening to it has been fantastic. I've listened walking, riding cooking. It's given me hope for the future in managing chronic pain and kids neurological conditions. Fantastic.

Incredible!
Loved it, makes me want to get some of the treatments in this book to optimise my brain, and also be a practitioner to help people heal as in the examples described

Outstanding!
As a fan of Norman Doidge and his work, this book took the concepts introduced in the brain that changes itself to a whole new level. Simply remarkable.

a must to hear and should be more known
The family doctors need to know this and stop sending people to specialists first instead of last resort ..

An excellent combination of story and sience
This book provides a stimulating introduction into innovative research about neuroplasticity and actual approaches being taken to address brain problems. However, because the book contains many references and insights I may get the printed version. The Norman Doidge website has some materials but if one wants to investigate further, a physical copy of the book would be useful.

Brilliant
An exciting insight into the future of healing. Amazing how everything old is new again. The human race appears to have an interesting way of having so many answers and closing their eyes to them. Thank you for sharing this knowledge.

informative and inspiring
one of those books where once you get into it, it becomes impossible to put down (or stop listening). It just continues to amaze and educate.
