Currently reading, "The Brain That Changes Itself: Stories of Personal Triumph from the Frontiers of Brain Science," by Norman Doidge.

Fascinating stories of people who have overcome brain disorders and brain injuries by retraining their brains. The accepted belief of the immutability of the brain is being replaced by the idea of neuroplasticity - that the brain can change itself - and the examples in this book are astounding.
