Idiot brain

Publication date: 2021

Writer: Dean Burnett

For something that is supposedly so amazing, so sophisticated, so sublime, the human brain is quite a bit messy, disorganized, and highly error-prone. In The Idiot Brain, neuroscientist Dean Burnett celebrates all the flaws and shortcomings of the human brain in all its glory, and shows us the impact those whims have on our daily lives. Based on original research experience and written in a fun and entertaining style, this book is for anyone who has marveled at the ability of our personal brain to interfere with and ruin our lives, and who has wondered what the hell is really going on inside his head.
