Full of great anecdotes that introduce ideas in neuroscience. It's a book that's good for a beginner with an interest in neuroplasticity. It's over a decade old so the information may be outdated, but overall the content was fascinating. It insipires hope when one learns about people missing half of their brain and continuing to live successful and fulfilling lives.
One of my absolute favourites. Our brain is so adaptable to what we let it experience. People can change, it takes effort, and do wonderful things with their lives.
Our brain is just beautiful and amazing in so many ways.
Brain plasticity is fascinating to me. It's a very informative book with real stories which I also appreciate.
However there was something about the language or style which I found a little dull.
Well written and informative. I wish I read it before having children or even as a teenager.
