Your Brain Knows More Than You Think by Niels Birbaumer, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

- Leading science and psychology podcast campaign - National print and online campaign - Advance Reading Copies available Fall 2017 - Co-op availableOur brains are more powerful than we ever realized. Too often, we humans tend to assume that nature is fixed, immutable - and this tendency is particularly strong when we think about matters of the mind and behaviour. People just can't change, we say, so they must somehow be prevented from becoming a burden on society or from hurting themselves and others. Neuroplasticity - the virtually limitless capacity of the brain to remould itself - turns these notions on their heads. Leading brain researcher Niels Birbaumer brings new hope to those suffering from depression, anxiety, ADHD, addiction, dementia, the effects of a stroke, or even the extremes of locked-in syndrome or psychopathy. Like the fathers and mothers of psychiatry, Birbaumer explores the sometimes-wild frontiers of a new way of thinking about our brains and behavior. Through actual cases from his research and practice, he shows how we can change through training alone, and without risky drugs. Open your mind to change. | Your Brain Knows More Than You Think by Niels Birbaumer, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
