'Highly accessible, content-rich and eminently readable . . .
Fascinating and informative . . . popular science at its best.' -
The Observer 'Subtly radical . . . It presents a revelatory model
of consciousness that will be completely new to most readers' - The
Guardian 'Best Reads For Summer' Have you ever wondered why you
have a brain? Let renowned neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett
demystify that big grey blob between your ears . . . In seven short
chapters (plus a brief history of how brains evolved), this slim,
entertaining, and accessible book reveals mind-expanding lessons
from the front lines of neuroscience research. You’ll learn where
brains came from, how they’re structured (and why it matters),
and how yours works in tandem with other brains to create
everything you experience. Along the way, you’ll also learn to
dismiss popular myths such as the idea of a 'lizard brain' and the
alleged battle between thoughts and emotions, or even between
nature and nurture, to determine your behaviour. Sure to intrigue
casual readers and scientific veterans alike, Seven and a Half
Lessons About the Brain is full of surprises, humour, and important
implications for human nature - a gift of a book about our most
complex and crucial organ.
