Kind of sad to see the author take such a derogatory outlook on some of these self-help approaches. These sorts of things do appear periodically but they do not promise neuroplasticity as a quick cure-all as the author says they do. What's great about thinking of neuroplasticity as a sort of self-help is that it by definition takes a great deal of work to "rewire" any part of the brain. Neuroplasticity is the promise of improvement using hard work, so I suppose I'm upset with the authors standpoint.
