Publisher Synopsis
'Want to get smarter quickly? Read this book.' -- David Eagleman, author of <i>The Brain: The Story of You</i> 'Simply wonderful. An engaging and useful guide to how our brilliant brains can go badly wrong.' -- Richard Wiseman, bestselling author of <i>59 Seconds</i> 'Populist and funny.' * Evening Standard * 'A much-needed field guide to the limits of our so-called consciousness.

After reading this book, you'll never trust your brain again.' * Alex Boese, bestselling author of <i>Elephants on Acid</i> and <i>Electrified Sheep</i> * Read more...
