Doidge makes it easy to read the science by interlayering w nice stories.The implications of neuroplasticity for things like stroke and OCD are huge. One small example: the Sea Gypsies of Burma live in/on the ocean. They have learned to change their eye structure so that their undersea vision is not distorted, 22% change in corneal curve. NOT genetics, simply remarkable.

David, Thanks for you comment. I am writing an article about creativity and am doing vision board workshops in LA and Malibu in an effort to inspire people's creativity and grown their brain cells.
