À propos de cet audio

 From the renowned neuroscientist and New York Times bestselling author of Incognito comes the companion volume to the international PBS series about how your life shapes your brain, and how your brain shapes your life.

"An ideal introduction to how biology generates the mind.... Clear, engaging and thought-provoking." —Nature

Locked in the silence and darkness of your skull, your brain fashions the rich narratives of your reality and your identity. Join renowned neuroscientist David Eagleman for a journey into the questions at the mysterious heart of our existence. What is reality? Who are “you”? How do you make decisions? Why does your brain need other people? How is technology poised to change what it means to be human?

In the course of his investigations, Eagleman guides us through the world of extreme sports, criminal justice, facial expressions, genocide, brain surgery, gut feelings, robotics, and the search for immortality. Strap in for a whistle-stop tour into the inner cosmos. In the infinitely dense tangle of billions of brain cells and their trillions of connections, something emerges that you might not have expected to see in there: you.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"An ideal introduction to how biology generates the mind.... structured around crucial and wide-ranging questions, saturated with personal and social relevance. And Eagleman’s answers are consistently clear, engaging and thought-provoking." —Nature

"David Eagleman's wide-ranging roundup of the current state of knowledge about the brain is concise, accessible and often very surprising. It's a strange new world inside your head.” —Brian Eno

"David Eagleman’s The Brain its an astonishing read. On every page there is a revelation so fantastic as to make one gasp. It would be impossible to take in if we didn’t all possess that impossibly extraordinary thing, a brain. Eagleman comes closer than anyone to solving the mystery of how to find the self inside the grey electric mush between our ears.” —Stephen Fry

"David Eagleman makes it easy to comprehend the most complex collection of cells in the Cosmos— our brain. If neuroscience had a rock legend this would be him.” —Ruby Wax

This book felt like the mental equivalent of watching a movie. Some interesting facts which helped me chug along rather quick through the book, but I can’t think of one practical application to use that information for. As much “we don’t know” as “this is what we do know”.

Despite being interested while listening, my only takeaway mirrors the Psalmist:

“Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.”

Interesting but not practical
