FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description We live in a time in which more than 100 million Americans suffer from a neurological illness. Not only is that number expected to rise and the annual cost to care for people with neurological disorders expected to surpass 1 trillion dollars, but the impact of these illnesses on our lives is unlike any other. Neurological disorders affect every fiber of our being. They cause physical, psychological, emotional, and cognitive impairments. They rob us of our lives and families in a way that diseases of other organs cant. Oftentimes it seems that we are helpless to do anything about it. But, what if that wasnt true?Neuroplasticity: Your Brains Superpower empowers us to have a different relationship with our brains. Instead of just succumbing to whatever potential dysfunction, degeneration, or disease that may impact our nervous system, in this book we explore the ways in which we can give our brains exactly what they need to adapt, heal, and thrive.Neuroplasticity: Your Brains Superpower takes us on a journey through things that influence the evolution of our brains, including various diseases. Not only do we learn about these illnesses, but also about the potential healing that can take place after the injury. This book expands the conversation about brain health so that we can include the principles of neuroplasticity to help us take control of our neurological destinies.

CARLSTEDT, PhDMcLean Hospital, Harvard Medical SchoolIntegrative Psychological Services of New York CityAmerican Board of Sport Psychology "Neuroplasticity-I was briefly introduced to this term in medical school and then began to understand it during my rehabilitation training as I watched patients recover from different types of brain injuries. From a public perspective, neuroplasticity is a poorly understood and a rarely mentioned term, yet it is such a huge part of life. Dr. Douyon does an amazing job in his book of breaking down a complicated concept so we can understand how this term applies to many aspects of our life as he walks us through the Neuroverse."--JAMES F.
