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.
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.
