by Rachel Barr
On the shelf? Just pop in.
Your brain is the most remarkable thing in the known universe Always trying to mend itself, and always trying to protect you, it's in a constant state of flux - adapting, reconfiguring, finding new pathways. And it has an astonishing capacity for recovery. Only it doesn't always get it right. Dr Rachel Barr struggled through years of devastating loss, heartache, and uncertainty until neuroscience gave her the first spark of self-belief she had felt in her adult life - and proof that, because of the brain's near-infinite potential for neuroplastic change, it's never too late to carve out neural pathways to form new habits, new skills, and new ways of thinking.
