The Brain's Way of Healing

Remarkable Discoveries and Recoveries from the Frontiers of Neuroplasticity

De: Norman Doidge M.D.

Narrado por: George Newbern

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.

Understanding brain Health and healing

Dr. Doige brings to life real stories of how people feel. The entries rain problems real in the techniques can be practiced while listening. Many of these studies are outside standard medical practice in the US. But they have been proven scientifically and are repeatable.

wow, this information is priceless!

What made the experience of listening to The Brain's Way of Healing the most enjoyable?

i just love books like this that are written simply enough to understand even the most technical of subjects. it's the best!

Great read!

We all should lear a bit about how our brain works and heals itself. I highly recommend

Great insight into the complexity of the brain

Having a father that suffered from Parkinson's disease, I found that chapter particularly interesting and promising. Unfortunately my dad passed away before I could share these insights with him.

Informative and inspiring

The progress that is being made in this field are so exciting! Just goes to show how much we don't currently know about how our bodies, minds and how healing actually work. The more you know, the more you know that you don't know anything at all and that almost everything mainstream society tells you about the brain is false. Healing can be accomplished if you so desire it to be healed.

fascinating and very well written

Dr Doidge covers various modes of noninvasive neuroplastic treatments for diseases that otherwise have no cure and often little treatment. The case he makes is well researched and presented, and highlights the marvel of the human body's self healing abilities when appropriately directed.
The narrator is excellent too. Highly recommend.

profound and easy to listen to while cooking or driving

Eye-Opening!

This book helped me discover that my daughter's sensory processing disorder explains why she would not breastfeed at birth. This has bothered me for 10 years, and I have struggled with guilt over it. This new understanding has helped resolve those guilt feelings, and the book as a whole has given me hope that she can overcome her sensory processing difficulties.

Extremely helpful understanding my TBI.

I was hit head on by drunk driver. I was going 30 and he admitted to going 60, there were no skid marks, a 90 MPH hit. Along with multiple fractures, I was left with an awful traumatic brain injury. I had no idea what it was before the accident. This book has been extremely informative and encouraging. Like many of those in this book , I was basically told to live with it. I now know TBI can be treated.
Thank you..

An option worth exploring for people with brain...

An option worth exploring for people with brain issues. my friend's child with learning disabilities has benefited much by the sound therapy mentioned in the book. I am looking into the same thing for my son who is epileptic. If anyone of you know any treatment like this exist in Taiwan or Southern California, please let me know. [e-mail]
