fails? - How do we think? - How do we feel? - How do we move, if we
move at all? - What happens when we lose our mind? When renowned
neuroscientist Barbara Lipska's melanoma spread to her brain it
started to play tricks on her. The expert on mental illness - a
specialist in how the brain operates - experienced what it is like
to go mad. Analyzing the science of the mind and the biology of the
brain alongisde Dr Lipska's own extraordinary story, this is a

resilient brains.' Lisa Genova, bestselling author of Still Alice
