Beautiful writing and sublime insights that will blow your mind like a string of firecrackers. If you want a rundown of the brain and its magic, start here. -- David Eagleman, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Incognito</i> Seven and a Half Lessons About the Brain reads like a novel - and its main character is all of us.

Read this book! It will make you smarter about yourself, and your species. -- Leonard Mlodinow, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>The Drunkard's Walk</i> A smart and delightfully breezy look at the things most of us think we know about the brain, but don't. -- Daniel Gilbert, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Stumbling on Happiness</i>
