The Idiot Brain

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.

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.

Amazing Book

The Idiot Brain is one of its kind. I will highly recommend it for someone who want to know how amazing brain is while being stupid sometimes.

I might have been expecting too much from this book. It’s only a neuroscience 101 for people who don’t have much introductory knowledge to the subject. Readers expecting more technical scientific learning will not find much new to absorb that they don’t get from regular news sources and websites anyway. Still it’s nice to have this neuroscience refresher in one book for a quick study over but it did not interest long enough to keep reading at a binge. It was too easy to put down and not pick up, I soon switched to more challenging titles

If you want to know about quirkiness of brain.... this book is for you

Funny, informative,

Enjoyed reading this. The author is describing a complex subject as simply as one possibly can.
