The bestseller by the Nobel laureate - now in paperback. What happens in our brains when we look at art? What memories and emotions are triggered, how do empathy and creativity arise? And what does Gustav Klimt have to do with it? Nobel Prize winner and bestselling author Eric Kandel has written a fascinating and beautifully illustrated book, "The Age of Insight," in which he tells the story of modern mind science from the Vienna Secession to our time. With his new book, Nobel laureate Eric Kandel takes us into the Vienna of Sigmund Freud, Gustav Klimt, and Arthur Schnitzler. Around 1900, the most esteemed minds in science, medicine, and art initiated a revolution that would forever change our understanding of the human mind and perception. The truth lies beneath the surface.
