Description
The Mind and the Brain explores a groundbreaking idea: that the mind is an independent entity that can shape and control the functioning of the physical brain.
Dr Jeffrey Schwartz, a leading researcher in brain dysfunctions, and Sharon Begley demonstrate how adult neuroplasticity - the brain's ability to be rewired throughout life - can be used to effect lasting changes in neural pathways. This concept, known as self-directed neuroplasticity or mental force, has been observed in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
This book delves into the possibilities of human control over the workings of the brain, offering a new understanding of the relationship between the mind and the physical brain.
