Publisher's Summary
The New York Times best-selling author of The Brain That Changes Itself presents astounding advances in the treatment of brain injury and illness. Now with a new afterword.
Winner of the 2015 Gold Nautilus Award in Science & Cosmology
In The Brain That Changes Itself, Norman Doidge described the most important breakthrough in our understanding of the brain in 400 years: the discovery that the brain can change its own structure and function in response to mental experience - what we call neuroplasticity.
His revolutionary new book shows, for the first time, how the amazing process of neuroplastic healing really works. It describes natural, noninvasive avenues into the brain provided by the forms of energy around us - light, sound, vibration, movement - which pass through our senses and our bodies to awaken the brain's own healing capacities without producing unpleasant side effects. Doidge explores cases where patients alleviated years of chronic pain or recovered from debilitating strokes that had plateaued; children on the autistic spectrum or with learning disorders normalizing; symptoms of multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and cerebral palsy radically improved; and other near-miracle recoveries. And we learn how to vastly reduce the risk of dementia with simple approaches anyone can use.
For centuries it was believed that the brain's complexity prevented recovery from damage or illness. The Brain's Way of Healing shows that this very sophistication is the source of a unique kind of healing. As he did so lucidly in The Brain That Changes Itself, Doidge uses stories to present exciting, cutting-edge science with practical real-world applications and principles that everyone can apply to improve their brains' performance and health.

Excellent book
Pretty heady stuff, and some of it almost unbelievable, but so full of information. This book has a message of hope for some who might have none left after being told nothing could help them. Our brains are incredible!

Hope for my helping a friend.
It was tedious to try to remember all of the brain parts, and what they do. It was worth it though, as I have hope for a brain damaged friend. Aarre Peltomaa

enjoyed the book
The book was an interesting topic and presented well. I would highly recommend this book to friends. The narrator had a nice tone however he read a bit slow and to correct that issue I just sped it up and it was fine.

Great news for the brain!!
Great book referring to accounts of people using alternative and cutting edge techniques in dealing with brain damage, brain degenerative diseases and brain related issues such as autism.
The methods described in this book give hope to those affected with neurological problems in believing that healing is possible. It is a blessing to have someone expose these findings and practices. I hope that in time the mainstream medical society would be able to integrate them and that we can have a better understanding of this utmost important organ by breaking through calcified paradigms that along with it's rigidity hinders the belief that the brain is a resilient and mobile organ capable of regeneration.

Feels a bit too woo woo for my taste
A lot of the things he claimed are i found difficulty finding any scientific article online, and when i did it lacked enough information and showed mixed results.
All in all this should be taken with a grain of salt and i encourage others to do research on his claims.

Good info but takes awhile to get to the point
I have a head injury so was hoping to get some relevant information from this book. Which I really did. But he goes very in-depth into each story, with a lot of sciensy-information and sometimes he lost me a bit. The audio book is more than 13 hours long, so be prepared for a long haul.
