We use our brains at practically every moment of our lives, and yet few of us have the first idea how they work. Much of what we think we know comes from folklore: that we only use 10 percent of our brain, or that drinking kills brain cells. These and other myths are wrong, as shown by neuroscientists who have spent decades studying this complex organ. However, most of what they have learned is not known to the world outside their laboratories. Here, the authors dispel common myths about the brain and provide a comprehensive, useful overview of how it really works. You'll discover how to cope with jet lag, how your brain affects your religion, and how men's and women's brains differ. With accessible prose decorated by charts, trivia, quizzes, and illustrations, this book is suitable for quick reference or extended reading.--From publisher description.… (mer)

I enjoyed this book. I kept putting off reading it, but after I saw and loved he movie I had to read the book. ( )

It is written as a popular introductory book, but organized as a textbook, with many small chapters covering important topics one by one, in a logical sequence. And this unique organization is both good and bad: it makes the book really useful and thorough, but also a bit boring.

There are some factual mistakes in the book as well: e.g. at one point they mixed up the pineal gland with the pituitary gland, which is rather characteristic. But overall it may serve as a good and structured introductory reading on neuroscience. ( )

This book was fantastic. It is told from the point of view of an old man in a nursing home looking back on his life as part of a travelling circus. The chapters switch back and forth between the past and the present, and together, they present a moving, unforgettable story. The circus story is bizarre, but doesn't go too far and is still believable and extremely interesting. The story from the nursing home is moving and deals a lot with the emotional aspects of growing older and coming to terms with it. Overall, a great book, and I can not wait to read more from Gruen!

I raced through this. Basically just a great, entertaining read. It won't profoundly change my life or anything, but I did get to find out lots of cool stuff about circuses and elephants, and spent a wonderful few hours at the big top. ( )
