I found this book incredibly interesting and accessible. I've read into how the brain works before, and this I found is the easiest way to understand it; it's so informative and accessible to understanding everyday functions, (I guess that was helped from him being self taught on neurology, rather than institutionalised education). The detail is excellent in describing the compartments and functions of the brain, and almost scary to think that a lot of the brain's potential and workings are still undiscovered! If you're looking at this book buy it, I think we all owe it to our brain to understand how it works, how much we really rely on it and unlocking its true potential.
