Meet the ninety-year-old doctor who continues to practice medicine with the help of some simple exercises. This is just one of the incredible stories told by brain expert Norman Doidge as he reveals the remarkable ability of our brains to repair themselves through the power of positive thinking. In "The Brain That Changes Itself," Doidge introduces us to fascinating stories at the forefront of neuroscience and the emerging discipline of neuroplasticity. We meet the stroke patient who, unable to feed or dress himself, was able to relearn how to move and speak; the woman with a rare brain condition that made her feel as though she was constantly falling, who rewired her brain through a series of exercises to overcome this; and the unconventional scientists who are overturning centuries-old assumptions about the brain and its capacity for renewal. Doidge demonstrates how their incredible work enables the blind to see, the deaf to hear, and Nobel laureates to rethink our model of the brain. This remarkable book will leave you with a sense of wonder about the capabilities of the human brain and the transformative power that lies within us all.

Norman Doidge, MD, is a psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, and New York Times bestselling author. He is a member of the research faculty at Columbia University's Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research in New York and on the faculty of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Toronto. He and his work have been profiled and cited in publications including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, The International Herald Tribune, The Washington Post, Scientific American Mind, The Melbourne Age, The Guardian, The Harvard Review of Psychiatry, Psychology Today, O The Oprah Magazine, and The National Review.
