The Brain That Changes Itself: Stories of Personal Triumph from the Frontiers of Brain Science by Norman Doidge

informative inspiring lighthearted medium-paced

3.75

some chapters i enjoyed more than others, mostly just found it fun to slowly read non fiction
i really like how they describe neuroplasticity as responsible for both flexibility and rigidity in the brain, like how it contributes to disorders based on stimulation. 
the chapter about rehab for stroke patients! and the girl with half a brain, amazing 🤩
