A perspective changing conversation with one of the leaders in the world of brain plasticity — best selling author Dr. Norman Doidge. His new book, The Brain’s Way of Healing, provides the latest insights from the frontiers of brain science on how to better address conditions ranging from Parkinson’s Disease, to chronic pain, to anxiety disorders. Doidge is joined by pain medicine leader Dr. Michael Moskowitz, whose own excruciating accident and study of neuroplasticity led him to create new treatments for chronic pain that do not involve drugs. We also learn precisely why vigorous walking is one of the best things you can do for the plasticity of the brain and its high functioning well into old age. And we get insights for parents on how to help children create habits by which brain plasticity works in their favor instead of against them.
