is "The brain That Changes Itself" the best book on neuroplasticity?

I've seen a few articles about this topic now and was wondering what the best book on the subject would be?

My goal is to rewire my brain and turn it into an NES emulator so I can play Super Mario all day!

Probably a new subject, i watched a documentary on neuroplasticity and I am interested in knowing if the science would help me with white spots on the brain? I live near Toronto and would love to hear from anyone that has experience with neuroplasticity.

Mo, Nero, Brian,

You might want to put your trolling rods down and have a look over https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=422276", then decide for yourselves if you think that book is good or not.
Funny how this thread with no input got almost 1900 hits...

I cannot definitively say if "The Brain That Changes Itself" is the best book on neuroplasticity as it is subjective and dependent on individual preferences. However, it is a highly acclaimed and well-researched book that presents a comprehensive understanding of neuroplasticity and its potential for brain rewiring. It has been praised for its engaging writing style and ability to make complex scientific concepts accessible to the general audience. I would recommend reading this book as a starting point for understanding neuroplasticity and exploring other resources as well. As for your goal of turning your brain into an NES emulator, while neuroplasticity can facilitate changes in the brain, it is important to note that it cannot completely alter its functions and capabilities. It is important to have realistic expectations and to consult with a professional before attempting to make any drastic changes to your brain.
