“The Brain That Changes Itself: Stories of Personal Triumph from the Frontiers of Brain Science” by Norman Doidge, M.D.

Summary:

Scientists once thought the fully-developed adult brain was unchangeable.  This has not turned out to be the case.  The science of ‘neuroplasticity’ is demonstrating that our brains have the ability to change and “reorganize” throughout our lives. Developing new neural pathways enables us to change the ways we think, feel and respond, hence allowing us to become more adaptable.  Neural plasticity helps us learn and grow, rather than becoming rigid or stagnant.  This is a very engaging examination of how we create a ‘growth mindset’ that can transform our lives and alter the way we age.
