"Fascinating. Doidge's book is a remarkable and hopeful portrait of the endless adaptability of the human brain."--Oliver Sacks, MD, author of The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat

What is neuroplasticity? Is it possible to change your brain? Norman Doidge's inspiring guide to the new brain science explains all of this and more

An astonishing new science called neuroplasticity is overthrowing the centuries-old notion that the human brain is immutable, and proving that it is, in fact, possible to change your brain. Psychoanalyst, Norman Doidge, M.D., traveled the country to meet both the brilliant scientists championing neuroplasticity, its healing powers, and the people whose lives they've transformed--people whose mental limitations, brain damage or brain trauma were seen as unalterable. We see a woman born with half a brain that rewired itself to work as a whole, blind people who learn to see, learning disorders cured, IQs raised, aging brains rejuvenated, stroke patients learning to speak, children with cerebral palsy learning to move with more grace, depression and anxiety disorders successfully treated, and lifelong character traits changed. Using these marvelous stories to probe mysteries of the body, emotion, love, sex, culture, and education, Dr. Doidge has written an immensely moving, inspiring book that will permanently alter the way we look at our brains, human nature, and human potential.

Too comfy and adorable 🀩
These socks are super soft and comfy, so cozy. These are the best feel good socks. The material is medium thick, so soft and fluffy. You may find a couple of fluff pieces here and there in your bed or floor after a while. They're still great socks to enjoy and lounge around in. I would suggest turning them inside out when you wash them. A good price for them too.

Soft fluffy socks for a comfortable sleep
Style: 1 Pair, Color: Men's Heather Charcoal, Style: 1 Pair, Color: Men's Heather Charcoal
I am a woman with size 8.5 or 9 feet. I purchased the heather (salt and pepper) pair of these for men, because I was tired of socks that squeezed my toes together. So these have a few inches of extra space at the toes, which is more comfortable for me, since I got these to sleep in. I am including a photo of these next to my usual too tight socks for comparison. When I took off my usual highly elastic tight socks and put these on I literally breathed a sigh of relief. These will keep my feet warm without being constrained. These are neither thick nor thin, but fluffy and very soft. I suggest that anyone who gets these is careful about taking off the small plastic piece that attaches the two socks together. Don't just yank the two socks apart, use some scissors to carefully remove that little piece. Also I suggest hand washing these. Recommended for those of us ladies who are tired of socks that squeeze their toes, for sleeping, and around the house.
