Description
In his work treating patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder, Dr. Jeffrey Schwartz made an extraordinary discovery: by focusing their attention away from negative behaviors and toward positive ones, his patients were able to make permeant changes to their own neural pathways. In The Mind &The Brain Schwartz explores his power- the power of the mind to shape the brain.
Through research and case studies, he demonstrates the brains ability to be drastically rewired, not just in childhood but throughout life- a paradigm shifting discovery that could transform the treatment of every neurological dysfunction, from dyslexia to stroke.
Schwartz’s landmark book challenges the idea that we are merely biologically programmed automations and proves that we have the power to shape our brains and, consequently, our destiny – a revolutionary insight that continues to provoke debate among those who care about our future of man’s role in the universe.
