为什么值得读
- 提供理解大脑工作机制的坚实科学依据
- 阐明习惯形成与重塑大脑功能的实际路径
- 结合令人震撼的前沿脑科学真实案例
一门名为 neuroplasticity 的颠覆性新科学正在推翻人类大脑不可改变这一长达数个世纪的旧观念。精神病学家兼精神分析学家 Norman Doidge 博士走访全美，不仅会见了捍卫 neuroplasticity 的杰出科学家，还探访了被这些科学成果彻底改变人生的人们——这些人的智力缺陷或脑损伤曾被认为无法医治。我们看到一位天生仅有半边大脑的女性，其大脑通过神经回路重组实现了整体运转；盲人重见光明；学习障碍被攻克；IQs 得到提升；衰老的大脑重焕生机；中风患者重新学会说话；患儿……

……（长期的，我并不是每年都能从头读到尾，但我经常会读其中很大一部分）编辑：我严重低估了自己想读的书的数量，简直搞笑。这里再加一本我认为在我的2020年不可或缺的书：《改变自己的大脑：来自脑科学前沿的个人胜利故事》（The Brain That Changes Itself）
…(perpetual, I don't get through it every year, but I get through much of it, often) EDIT: I also hilariously underestimate the number of books I want to read. Here's one more I think is vital for my 2020: The Brain That Changes Itself: Stories of Personal Triumph from the Frontiers of Brain Science
……（合理）《Tempo: Timing, Tactics and Strategy in Narrative-Driven Decision Making》（抽象得要命，但很有启发）《思考，快与慢》（很喜欢）《脑中的大象》（严重被低估）《改变自己的大脑》（神得让人大开眼界）《习惯的力量》（不错！）《秘密大律师》（略让人不安）《系统之美》（这本书的死忠粉！）《A Short History of Truth》（一般般……）《活出意义来》……
…(reasonable) Tempo: Timing, Tactics and Strategy in Narrative-Driven Decision Making (abstract as hell but rewarding) Thinking Fast and Slow (loved it) The Elephant In The Brain (seriously underrated) The Brain That Changes Itself (inspirationally freaky) The Power of Habit (good!) The Secret Barrister (mildly disturbing) Thinking In Systems (huge fan of this book!) A Short History of Truth (meh...) Man's Search For Meaning…
……要想保持这种状态，你必须不断用脑、不断去挑战它。老年人通常保持脑力活跃的机会要少得多。动力也更少。上面的说法主要基于诺曼·多伊奇写的《改变自己的大脑》[1]，我强烈推荐这本书。另外，看看那些你明显能感觉到依然思维敏捷的老人家就明白了——沃伦·巴菲特86岁，乔姆斯基88岁，詹姆斯·哈里斯·西蒙斯79岁等等。1. https://www.amazon.com/Brain-That-Changes-Itself-Frontiers/d...
…to have that you need to keep using your brain and challenging it. Old people usually have much less opportunity to stay mentally active. And less motivation. Statements above are based mostly on The Brain That Changes Itself by Norman Doidge[1] which I highly reccomend. Plus just listen to some old folks that you can tell are still quick - Warren Buffet 86, Chomsky 88, James Harris Simons 79 and so on. 1. https://www.amazon.com/Brain-That-Changes-Itself-Frontiers/d...
……比比如某人生了某种不得不围着它来安排生活的疾病，或者比如瘫痪了都要强。1. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3950413/ 顺便说一句：我非常喜欢而且强烈推荐诺曼·多伊奇写的《改变自己的大脑》，但这次的情况不太一样
…than e.g. somebody having some disease that he has to organize his life around it or e.g. being paralyzed. 1. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3950413/ edit: btw I love and highly recommend Brain That Changes Itself book, by Norman Doidge, but this is something different
……天。作为第二个建议，同样也是极有帮助和益处的，我建议读读心理学、认知偏差以及神经可塑性（neuroplasticity）方面的书。我读过影响最大的书是诺曼·多伊奇的《改变自己的大脑》。这本书会从科学/现实的角度为你打下理解大脑运作的基础：你的习惯是如何形成并强化的，以及你如何才能掌控这些过程来……
…day. As a secondary suggestion which has also been extremely helpful and beneficial, I'd recommend reading up on psychology, biases, and neuroplasticity. The most impacting book I've ever read is "The Brain That Changes Itself" by Norman Doidge. This book will give you a scientific/real basis of understanding how your brain works; how your habits form and are re-enforced, and how you can take control of these processes to…
……比那要深入得多。你看过特斯拉 AI 那位大佬最近那篇吐槽 Software 2.0 的文章了吗？https://medium.com/@karpathy/software-2-0-a64152b37c35 其他的好资料还有《主算法》（讲 ML）或者《改变自己的大脑》（讲神经科学），前者梳理了各种方法的总体能力与局限，而后者则梳理了医学上的各种发现，展现了我们的感官输入和解释能力到底有多大的可塑性……
…a lot further than that. Did you read the recent Software 2.0 rant by the Tesla AI guy? https://medium.com/@karpathy/software-2-0-a64152b37c35 Other good sources are The Master Algorithm (ML) or The Brain That Changes Itself (neuroscience), the former surveying general capabilities and limitations of various approaches and the later surveying findings from medicine on just how plastic our sensory inputs and interpretive capacities…
