Wired for Good. Reasons We Heal, #1

Your brain heals. Not just in theory, and not just in inspirational quotes. It heals in the literal, biological sense, rewiring itself in response to experience, growing new neural connections, dampening pain signals, and orchestrating a chemistry that can reduce inflammation and accelerate tissue repair. Most people don't know this is happening inside them or how to work with it rather than against it.
In Wired for Good, Dr. Patricia A. Farrell walks you through the science of neuroplasticity and the brain's natural healing systems in language anyone can follow. You'll learn why the brain responds to some experiences as healing and others as harmful, how stress and chronic pain affect neural circuitry, and what the research says about practices that support the brain's own repair processes. This isn't a book about positive thinking.
It's about how your biology actually works, and why that's more hopeful than most people realize. Part of the Real Reasons We Heal series, Wired for Good is the foundation. If you've ever wondered why some people seem to recover more fully than others, this book has some answers. And they're not the ones you'd expect.
