The Idiot Brain by Dean Burnett
'Compelling and wise and rational.' - Jon Ronson 'A wonderful introduction to neuroscience, and deserves to be widely read.' - Independent Motion sickness. Nightmares. Forgetting people's names.

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.
