Our brains are more powerful than we ever realised. Too often, we
assume that people's natures are fixed, immutable. For sufferers of
depression, anxiety, ADHD, addiction, or the after-effects of
stroke, this can be a difficult thought. For those with extreme
conditions, such as locked-in syndrome or psychopathy, it can feel
as if there is no hope at all. However, in Your Brain Knows More
Than You Think, leading neurobiologist Niels Birbaumer turns these
assumptions on their head, arguing that neuroplasticity - the
virtually limitless capacity of the brain to remould itself - is
enough to overcome almost any condition, however life-limiting it
seems. Like the fathers and mothers of psychiatry, Birbaumer
explores the sometimes-wild frontiers of a new way of thinking
about our brains and behaviour. Through actual cases from his
research and practice, he shows how we can change through brain
training alone - and without risky drugs - if we simply open our
minds.
