The Brain That Changes Itself by Norman Doidge

I got this book while I was living in NY. At the time I was playing a lot of video games and watching movies. Except for being in front of people the entire day as I did street performing, I spent much of my time alone in my room. I needed to read something.

A vision I had at the time gave me two options: (1) start doing yoga everyday or (2) end up in a wheelchair. I began going to yoga. I teach spoke about this book in one of her classes. I had the strong urge to read it so I picked it up and began. The book amazed me.

If you want to read a more in-depth journey of what it was like for me during that time, please, read these, of which I made when I first joined the steemit community: 1 Yoga and the Stuggle to Heal and 2 NYC Last Months

Is that Edward Scissorhands you? Impressing. Thanks for sharing this part of your life with us. I've always been convinced that the brain can change not more nor less than our whole body. Very interesting topic.

Yes. I was a street performer for about seven years.
