An educational but easy to understand (even for a layperson like me) read. A fascinating dive into psychology and the brain.

An interesting book which covers a broad range of topics to answer the question "how do we know who we are?". Quiroga has done his homework and builds a well-informed case. I found many interesting and inspiring quotes from this book - the number of highlights in the book alone could be made into its own workbook!
Don't read this book without a way to take notes! I think this is a good one to read if you are reflecting on your life and what you want out of your future. Great read!

Mostly this book is about the brain, but the part about the memory and perception is absolutely uptodate and I found it clear explained and particularly interesting, as I had no idea there was an honest to God Jennifer Aniston neuron!

La maggior parte di questo libro é dedicata al cervello ed alle varie modalità di processare le informazioni, poi c'é la parte sulla memoria che é fantastica ed aggiornatissima, dove ho scoperto che esiste veramente un neurone Jennifer Aniston!

THANKS TO NETGALLEY FOR THE PREVIEW!

A general interest non-fiction about the workings of the mind, specifically as it applies to memory. For fans of Daniel Pink, etc. if you are interested in this topic, the book discusses the studies done with HM. A more thorough book on that topic (which also addresses the ethics questions of those studies) is Patient H.M. by Luke Dittrich.

A fascinating look at memory and how the brain works. Great for anyone interested in psychology.
