## Description

Shortlisted for the Goodreads Best Science and Technology Book Award.' Motion sickness. Nightmares. Forgetting people's names. Why did I walk into this room?? For something supposedly so brilliant and evolutionarily advanced, the human brain is pretty messy, fallible and disorganised. In The Idiot Brain neuroscientist Dean Burnett celebrates the imperfections of the human brain in all their glory and the impact of these quirks on our daily lives. Expertly researched and entertainingly written, this book is for anyone who has wondered why their brain seems to be sabotaging their life and what on earth it is really up to.

Review: Fascinating and educational - Absolutely enjoying reading this novel, back when I purchased in 2018 or thereabout, I used to think brain is the only organ which was infallible, how wrong I was! It was fascinating and equal parts educational to learn about how brain functions.
Review: An eye opener - I liked the way the book is paced. The language used was simple and easy to understand. However there were some chapters that I had to read more than once. That might be because I am new to the terms. But I liked the way the author dispelled some of the common myths associated with the brain. Worth a read for the curious brain. No pun intended.
