Neuroplasticity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Can someone who is familiar with Marcus Buckingham's work and also neuroplasticity tell me the general gist of neuroplasticity in clearly defined terms?

Right now people are being very vague, and not really saying anything. (And the Wikipedia article is largely uninteresting. Nothing that leaps out at me as "this is important." It just seems more like, "yeah, ok... and?" Forgive me if I'm critical when it comes to ideas, but I put a premium on only spending time with the most impactful ideas there are. It's how I work best, given my understanding of my talents and my general functioning--i.e., how I'm effective.)

I'm all for considering practically anything, but I tend to focus on things that seem impactful. This seems too general by nature to be impactful. Saying "we can change" isn't a significant insight. It's nice that they've got the scientific evidence to back it up, but I'm interested in how this can specifically help results, and more specifically, how it has helped people who are the best in the world at what they do either reach that point or become better.
