The Brain That Changes Itself

Saturday 14 May, 2011

How many times have we heard people say ‘a leopard doesn’t change it’s spots’ in relation to someone changing the way they think and subsequently the way they behave?  Well, we are not leopards and WE can ‘change our spots’.

Norman Doidge, MD has written one of the most fascinating books I have read on brain science, illustrating the endless potential of the human brain.  Dr Doidge elegantly describes a new scientific discovery called ‘neuroplasticity’, where research is showing how the human brain is able to change its own structure and function, even into old age.

Using actual case studies we are taken into the world of endless possibilities with regard to change and adaptation, even where lifelong character traits have been changed.  We learn how our thoughts can switch our genes on and off, altering our brain anatomy.

This book will alter the way you view the human brain, human nature and human potential.
A MUST read - Enjoy!
