All these people had their lives transformed by the remarkable discovery that our brains can repair themselves through the power of positive thinking. Here bestselling author, psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Norman Doidge reveals the secrets of the cutting-edge science of 'neuroplasticity'. He introduces incredible case histories - blind people helped to see, IQs raised and memories sharpened - and tells the stories of the maverick scientists who are overturning centuries of assumptions about the brain. This inspiring book will leave you with a sense of wonder at the capabilities of the mind, and the self-healing power that lies within all of us. Review: A book which talks about neuroplasticity - A book which explains and proves about neuroplasticity with various real life studies. Review: Nothing is impossible! - This book is about neuroplasticity. As technical and arcane the subject sounds, this is a book for public consumption without excessive the medical and scientific jargon. The book takes us on a path of discovery of neuroplasticity, starting with the conventional wisdom that after childhood the brain changed only when it began the long process of decline in old age. The understanding that every location in brain is "hardwired" to perform a specific function is repudiated with pertinent scientific works and anecdotes. The book goes on to explain certain facts we always knew without being clear about the full justification of them like why blind people have better auditory senses. It repudiates the theory that human beings are simply a byproduct of their genes and goes on to explain how the plasticity of the brain can shape individuals throughout their lives. The book provides a ray of light by citing examples of people who extraordinarily recuperated from debilitating brain injuries to lead a somewhat normal life. The book has monumental implications for human potential. It makes one believe that human beings can be changed, they can be taught to be more empathetic and loving! They can be conditioned to reach their full potential in any field and made to recover from congenital deficiencies to lead a full and happy life. Highly recommend! ## Features - PENGUIN GROUP ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,786 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #16 in Biology Books | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 5,261 Reviews | ## Images ![The Brain That Changes Itself: Stories of Personal Triumph from the Frontiers of Brain Science - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81wmQXYQZBL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A book which talks about neuroplasticity *by A***P on 3 June 2026* A book which explains and proves about neuroplasticity with various real life studies. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nothing is impossible! *by T***E on 29 November 2015* This book is about neuroplasticity.

Highly recommend! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fascinating read! *by S***L on 1 September 2022* The book gets interesting with each chapter. The whole idea of brain plasticity and the various contexts it has been put in and explored is just fascinating. Since it's specifically scientific material, you need to have some background to connect to it and the fascination actually comes from knowing what has been claimed till date and how it gets debunked in these stories. This was my first detailed read in brain plasticity so don't have much to compare with but definitely builds a good base to explore further. Just one thing that sets me off is, there is more of the story and less of the research. Which is good to begin connecting and getting in the flow but after some point you start to look for more subject matter and less of stories. But again, the disappointment is possibly a result of setting wrong expectations, when the title clearly says, "Stories of Personal Triumph". There are some really interesting findings that can be used even in day to day life to make good use of mental capacity, especially when it comes to learning new skills. The other good part is the extreme conditions where the methods have been deployed and have shown results; builds a strong case for hope when it comes to cases of long-lasting damage done to the brain or any organ. Overall a good read! ## Frequently Bought Together - The Brain That Changes Itself: Stories of Personal Triumph from the Frontiers of Brain Science - Behave: The bestselling exploration of why humans behave as they do - The Brain: The Story of You --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ro/products/64677175-the-brain-that-changes-itself-stories-of-personal-triumph-from](https://www.desertcart.ro/products/64677175-the-brain-that-changes-itself-stories-of-personal-triumph-from) --- *Product available on Desertcart Romania* *Store origin: RO* *Last updated: 2026-08-12*
