About Me

I'm a reader who enjoys posting comments and recommendations about the books I read. You will not find a synopsis with my recommendations because you can just click on the book title for a link to www.goodreads.com for a synopsis and reviews by other readers. I prefer the 3 Reason format: the reason I chose to read it; the reason I liked (or disliked) the book; and the reason I recommend it.

The Brain That Changes Itself: Stories of Personal Triumph from the Frontiers of Brain ScienceThe Brain That Changes Itself: Stories of Personal Triumph from the Frontiers of Brain Science by Norman Doidge
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I requested this earlier book after I read The Brain's Way of Healing which was published in 2015.

This book deals more with the research necessary for scientists to overcome beliefs and presumptions that the brain, once damaged, is unlikely to restore skills and functions than The Brain's Way of Healing.It lays the foundation for possible treatments that have been used in the last eight years.

This book is not for all general readers for the amount of detail Doidge gives about the research may bore some readers. It is not for readers who are squeamish about the use of animals in scientific training.
