Book Reviews of The Brain That Changes Itself: Stories of Personal Triumph from the Frontiers of Brain Science (James H. Silberman Books)

Book Review: An amazing book
Summary: 5 Stars

This is one of the most amazing books I've read recently. Written for laymen, it has compelling stories backed by scientific research. It showed to me that my inadequacies are learned: I can't do maths, mental arithmetic, lateral parking, blah, blah....are just feeble excuses. I now know I can change. Now, where did I store that huge amount of willpower? :-)
