This remarkable book by a brilliant pathbreaker deepens our understanding of how the brain works and of the brain's profound impact on how we participate in the world. Our brains shape us, but this book offers clear and hopeful evidence of the corollary: we can shape our brains. "

        Comments about The Woman Who Changed Her Brain: And Other Inspiring Stories of Pioneering Brain Transformation:

        This is a very readable, informative book about how the brain works, specifically in regards to learning disabilities. The text is very accessible for the layperson. We all have some areas of weakness; this book reveals how it is possible to overcome them with the right approach.

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
