The Brain That Changes Itself: Stories of Personal Triumph from the Frontiers of Brain Science

Norman Doidge's "The Brain That Changes Itself: Stories of Personal Triumph from the Frontiers of Brain Science" — the landmark book on neuroplasticity. Through stories of patients and scientists, Doidge shows the brain can rewire itself at any age: a woman labeled "retarded" becomes a school founder, stroke victims decades injured recover movement, OCD patients rewire their brains through thought, and phantom limb pain is cured with a mirror box. Covers 7 use cases: ① What Is Neuroplasticity? — "Can the brain really change?" ② Stroke Recovery — "Can a stroke patient recover after decades?" ③ Learning Disabilities — "Can I improve my brain?" ④ OCD — "Can I stop obsessive thoughts by changing my brain?" ⑤ Pain — "How does the brain create chronic pain?" ⑥ Aging — "Can I keep my brain young?" ⑦ Imagination — "Does thinking really change the brain?"
