In The Brain That Changes Itself , Norman Doidge introduced readers to the most important discovery about the brain since the advent of modern science: that it is capable of altering its own structure and responding to mental experiences. The author now shows, for the first time, how the incredible process of neuroplasticity actually works. We are presented with incredible and moving stories that prove that the mind, brain, and human body, along with the energies that surround us, are essential elements in the equations of health and healing.

The Healing Brain shows us how scientists and medical professionals have learned to use neuroplastic therapies to treat many diseases, offering hope in situations where there was no hope of a cure. And how we can greatly reduce the risk of dementia, as well as improve our brain performance and health, with simple approaches accessible to everyone. A revolutionary advance in modern science, capable of changing our lives.
