Summary
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.

Extremely informative
This is greatly scientific book that really explains how our brain works. It is a must background reading for all these books that only tell what you need to do but don’t explain why. In contrary, this book did not have any section explaining how to apply all this knowledge in practice, and this was the only downside of this book.

Informative, interesting and a pleasure to listen
This audio book is great if you struggle to read or don't have the time to read. It's informative, and interesting right until the end.
I'd recommend it to anyone interested in this topic.
