The reviews and reception given to Dr Doidge's book shows the importance attributed to his work:
The Brain That Changes Itself has been described as “Brilliant” by the London Times, and The New York Times has written that in The Brain That Changes Itself,
“The power of positive thinking finally gains scientific credibility.
Mind-bending, miracle-working, reality-busting stuff, with
implications…not only for individual patients with neurologic disease
but for all human beings, not to mention human culture, human learning
and human history... Straddles the gap between science and self-help.”
Oliver Sacks has called it, “a remarkable and hopeful portrait of the endless adaptability of the human brain.” The book has been a #1 bestseller in Canada and in Australia, and is a New York Times Bestseller, on the extended list for 12 months. It is available in over 70 countries, and is also a documentary film by the same name.
