Back in 2007, Canadian psychiatrist Dr. Norman Doidge wrote a fascinating book on brain plasticity entitled The Brain that Changes Itself. He includes stories of individuals who have used cutting-edge scientific discoveries to overcome barriers to functioning that in the past would have seemed insurmountable. I keep a copy of this book in my office library and share it with interested clients.
A few days ago, I was browsing on Amazon Prime and was thrilled to discover that a documentary based on Doidge’s book was available free for viewing for all Prime members. Then, upon further investigation, I found that the full film is also available on YouTube here. Even though it is a decade old, this impressive film is worth your time. Take a look!
