Nominated for the Goodreads Best Science & Technology Book Award, "The Idiot Brain" explores motion sickness, nightmares, and the struggle to remember people's names. Why did I walk into this room? For something that is supposedly so brilliant and evolutionarily advanced, the human brain is quite chaotic, fallible, and disorganized. Neuroscientist Dean Burnett celebrates the imperfections of the human brain in all their glory and the impact of these quirks on our daily lives. Carefully researched and entertainingly written, this book is for anyone who has ever wondered why their brain seems to sabotage their life and what it is really up to.
