    BookThe Brain That Changes Itself: Stories of Personal Triumph from the Frontiers of Brain Science

    Author: Norman Doidge, MD

    "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, MD, 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, ageing 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 marvellous 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.

    from 543 reviews
    Seniors like to deal with Australian companies.

    I am 80 years old and a very strong supporter of Australian-owned companies.

    I needed a special "Information Clock" for my wife who has short-term memory loss. I checked several websites and selected The Independence Shop as they are Australian and their presentation was good quality.

    They sent follow-up emails and I thanked them for their information and their business style. I will deal with them if we need other seniors-helpers and refer our friends when they need them.

    I wish Chris and Rosie best wishes for their future.

    I purchased four products, each has proved good value, easy to use and three had no batteries to chase after.
    What I also liked was this was a local business with personal delivery which was very prompt.

    The Independence Shop staff (one in particular) are very helpful and go above and beyond to respond to online queries. Service fast and efficient, and goods despatched promptly. Well done, team!

    We ordered our products for free local delivery, and couldn't be happier! They were delivered within the hour! I almost fell over! Plus great quality products for around the home and garden. Can definitely recommend The Independence Shop, especially for Bribie Islanders.

    I had an excellent experience. They have a wide range of products for independent living. Very happy with their service and to support a small Aussie business :-) Will definitely purchase from them again!

    Tess B.

    Highly recommended. Found some great daily living aids and super gift ideas over the Xmas period from this online shop! My order arrived quickly and was well packaged.

    Kelsey G.

    Great service!! I purchased through www.theindependenceshop.com.au and they delivered locally to mum in Bellara within the hour! Happy with the seatbelt reacher and Handybar that we purchased for the car, quality Stander products. Can recommend buying daily living products from The Independence Shop.

    Reliable service and a great selection of products. Found quite a few things that I didn't know were available. Worth a look!

    Michael Y.

    It's really nice to know what's available to support my elderly mother. I've tried to find useful things previously and it's not easy from one reliable place.

    Kiana H.

    The products arrived quickly. I didn't have to question if they would take months to get delivered or if they would even be what I ordered.

    Collin K.

    Order delivered within a few hours! And now I don't need to use a cooking spatula to apply sunscreen to my back!
