Dr. Norman Doidge | The Power of Thought

[@omkars764]

Here's a thought. If you're interviewing someone, don't interrupt that person every five seconds just to show them that you know things too.

[@RickyRyan]

Agreed, it was not very professionnal. Not something I recall seeing her do.

[@omkars764]

MetrazolElectricity True. Thanks for allowing me to see it differently

[@emersonjanebrowne1754]

She really is just a LOUSY interviewer! I don't think it is nervousness. I think it is lack of skill. So why on earth is she on a major news station?! In Alan Alda's autobiography he talks about being the host of Scientific American Frontiers. When he first started, he would do all sorts of reading up on the scientist and research but then realized he was cornering the scientist with questions he asked. He then started going in with no knowledge and asking questions from that point which would allow the scientist to talk. She needs to read Alan Alda's book!!

[@jeanyjerome3898]

I was thinking it might have been her actual excitement for people with these issues. She's usually very good.

[@theodosios2615]

If this doesn't blow your mind with excitement...watch it again, because you missed something.

[@TA-os2ru]

im shook.

[@silvioapires]

She could have said in the end instead "It's been a pleasure interrupting you!" A brilliant guest spoiled by an extremely annoying interviewer, how much more we could have gathered from this had he been able to finish his various highly interesting points.

[@crh251]

I agree. Constant interruptions. It was driving me crazy.

[@oakfat5178]

There's a fashion now that the interviewer somehow becomes as much a subject of the interview as the interviewee themselves. To mis-quote The King "A little less conversation A little more interview, please" The interviewer seemed overly keen to prove that she'd read the book assignment.

[@miggrodriguez9996]

Those interruptions are sooooo annoying! I wanted to over it again but this lady made it unbearable.I would like to know Dr.Doidge thought on her brain? He should've offer to study her and CHANGE her way of doing interviews.

[@justme8108]

Horrible interviewer! Just as he tries to explain, she dives in with unnecessary questions.

[@mitzipepall3075]

That's exactly what I was thinking. "Be quiet and let him speak."

[@wandmayeslupik6302]

Interweaver needs brain fixed!

[@tinamariefeliciano2751]

Crazy I've just come across this video watching another video, and he mentioned Dr Norman I have had this experience recently. I have arthritis In my joints and naturally blocked them out on my own. Amazing how In control your mind can be.

[@crh251]

I would love to know more about what you did. I have severe arthritis in my lower back.

[@oakfat5178]

Well done developing that unassisted.

[@eds.8458]

This gentleman has given stroke survivors (this one at least) allot of great info. & I feel extremely fortunate for how things have gone in my case (though must admit holding on by my fingertips for some periods; a damaged brain can make you crazy). Read all of Dr. Doidge's books and have seen much footage (along w using the software mentioned & others & Taoist Tai Chi). Thank you Dr. Doidge!

[@lelandro42]

I'm reading his latest book right now. It's fascinating. I'm glad I saw this interview. He is as good in front of the camera as he is in writing. I'm very excited about his discoveries and excited to see what more will come of his research. At one point the interviewer asks him "why aren't all doctors recommending this treatment." It seemed like an antagonistic question to me, but I wish he would've made the point that medical changes always come slowly. Ignaz Semmelweiss discovered that failure to wash hands between patients led to the transmission of puerperal fever in 1847. It took more than 20 years for that concept to catch on and in fact many clinicians still don't properly wash their hands and become very defensive if you ask them to. Change is always difficult and just because someone, or a group of someones, isn't following the latest research it doesn't mean the research is bad. In fact Dr. Doidge is very gracious in the book about the resistance coming from the neuroscience establishment.

[@louisehannant8485]

I have seen and worked with some of these theories. Amazing improvement in people with Parkinson's and stroke. Was introduced to some of the ideas working with children who were slow in getting their language going. This was already in the late 70's in Sweden

[@jonbraverman8995]

louise hannant ey

[@nkosinathiban-hela8423]

Interesting finding! Remembering that developing countries spend billions of dollars try to combat diseases that can be cured by using the mind 😂 the money can be used for other useful resources like infrastructure and food 😎

[@katherineswart474]

I wish the interviewer would get a hold of her unbridled enthusiasm and let the good doctor speak.

[@mazenahmed4901]

LET HIM TALK !!!

[@elijahsprague3550]

There is a great book titled “Descartes Error” that explains the brain body connection. Fascinating stuff; great interview.

[@mcmjr405]

Thank you I’m looking it up on amazon now.

[@TheRealChubbDaddy]

Very interesting but CHRIST, let the expert explain!!! Extremely irritating for the interviewer to interrupt on a regular basis with a kindergarten rephrasing of what is being said. Reframing is fine but let the man finish a sentence first!

[@ryannyamz1473]

Women always do that bro

[@aprilmiket]

I came here to say the same thing. So annoying and disrespectful!!

[@MRayner59]

Fascinating stuff.

[@RA-uw3hh]

I am a junior neurology resident and I don’t know if this is true or not but I know that I hope this thing is real and I’m very open to try it with my patients as long as they are committed to their meds .

[@mehamedislam251]

I need medical advice please

[@joelpierson2628]

The idea of Neurol plasticity should speak loudly to people that struggle learning to play an instrument.

[@Ashar_Husain_Khan]

Quite informative, thanks for sharing 👍

[@benswitzer4679]

Holy interrupting batman. Most annoying thing in the world to me, like nails on a chalkboard.

[@kenrhino7904]

No kidding. She should have just interviewed herself.

[@patmull1]

12 Rules for Life brought me here.

[@simplyspeakers18]

Same! Just finished Dr.Doidge intro 😉😁

[@jufrifaisal6319]

Thanks Dr. God Bless

[@cristinacervifitness3662]

thanks for this explanation, I am researching fibromyalgia and I will incorporate your book in my studies

[@ljon008]

I thought I was the only one bothered by the interviewer, until I started reading some of the comments.

[@NewEarth25]

Mind is a distributed field of consciousness and brain is picking up vibrations as a receiver and transmitter of consciousness through six senses (knowing mind is the sixth sense in Buddhism). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mind.

[@christasstory4306]

I would love to see him I have conversion disorders and isn't getting any better and tremors and been sharing my story on here hoping to get answers..

[@chromanin]

Great interview. I was charmed by her enthusiasm and eagerness to learn.

[@John83118]

I'm captivated by this content. I read a book with similar content, and it was absolutely stunning. "Unlocking the Brain's Full Potential" by Alexander Sterling

[@danmaritz2925]

This interviewer needs to learn how to stop interrupting people.

[@aaagggmmmsss]

excellent

[@martin5504]

The interviewer should let him speak more please.

[@manoftheworld1000]

Part of the skepticism towards neuroplasticity has on the one hand to do with the reasons Norman Doidge describes in the interview. Another reason, I guess, has to do with the fact that there's so much *bunk* out there, all of it being sold under the label of "Neuro"!

[@waterkingdavid]

Agreed. But also because mainstream scientists are still operating under the old paradigm that the brain generates the mind.

[@manoftheworld1000]

Which is not very far from what Raymond Tallis would call "neuromania".

[@Maya-Saric]

he is great, sho not so much

[@gilgayer386]

Legendas para o Brasil

[@MsEmm10]

I wish she'd stop interrupting him wtf!!!

[@darkyimanc4736]

Thats true.Drugs reshape a lot more than you think the brain path

[@swagsI]

In what ways negatively. I know there is a lot we still don't know but if you know more please elaborate

[@mathewgarza3436]

your mind is your soul

[@juliehoypoy1819]

Sadly this interview was very irritating as that woman interviewer kept talking over top and butting in every time Dr.Doidge spoke

[@lisabennett1253]

Gads! I love listening and learning from him but she is annoying! She keeps interrupting. He is very polite about it.

[@papman100]

Stop cutting him off and let him speaks ffs.

[@sharicecarty6140]

Is it just me or does this lady INTERUP too much .cant let the man talk

[@raydematio7585]

Lots of whingeing here, it's her job to ask questions, this is TV not an academic lecture

[@writingservices5849]

The interviewer needs to listen more and talk less.

[@conned]

shes not convinced......

[@Roxy-gn8dj]

Why did you bring him if you could explain everything by yourself???? Sooooo annoying

[@bunnysofoxy6113]

The interviewer is terrible! She keeps interrupting him.

[@dema.7484]

Pllleeeaasse wa want arabic translation of this vid😭😭😭😭💔💔💔

[@vfxcinematography3293]

Nonsense

[@josmithhere]

Great but Kind of a teas he sells books & pricey seminars - hmmm agenda?

[@loungydoc]

jo dude ... you're so far off it's not even funny. You are severely misinformed

[@TheVeek192]

So? Why shouldn't he make a living? Do you expect to work for nothing? Buy the book. Maybe it's worth the money.
