  • Summary

  • Radiant Minds: The World of Oliver Sacks investigates consciousness, the brain, and the human experience, drawing inspiration from works by the neurologist and beloved author Oliver Sacks. Oliver cared for people with misunderstood neurological conditions at a time when many in the medical community had turned their backs on them. 

    Radiant Minds expands upon his work and harnesses the emotional power of some of his greatest stories to address broader themes of neurodiversity, identity, and individuality. Each installment of this show introduces listeners to a world of scientific wonder: stories of incredible resilience in the face of life-altering neurological conditions and the powers of the human brain we often take for granted. You'll hear from some of his patients, as well as scientists, and artists whose insights will invite you to think about your own brain with a newfound sense of respect. Every second awaits discovery, much like Oliver's own life.

Fascinating!

The whole series was fascinating but, when the subject of Hyperphantasia and Aphantasia came up I was floored. I discovered that I have Aphantasia which means that I am incapable of picturing anything in my minds eye. I had no idea that when people spoke of visualizing things, they actually saw pictures in their heads! This really brought home the whole idea of neurodiversity to me ... and this series is so much more.

A wonderful opportunity to learn about neurological influence on behaviour.

I very much appreciate this gift as it serves as a summary of Oliver’s wide range of subjects. By listening to this sincere comprehensive and enthusiastic narration almost makes me feel as if I have read more of his books than I have. It also makes me determined to read more of his books.
I have read ‘A Leg To Stand On’ twice and ‘The Man Who Mistook His Wife For a Hat’.
