This field intrigues me, so much of this material was not new to me But much was. Heared toward the layperson with a scientific curiosity it’s dense but well written, with great narration.

Chapters cover autism, schizophrenia, addiction, gender differentiation, dementia, bipolar, memory storage and loss, creativity, movement, anxiety, post traumatic stress, decision making, and consciousness.

I’ll warn that Chapter 1 was basic and (I thought) obvious; I jumped to 1.5x speed but soon dropped back to real time and found myself rewinding when distracted. I bought the book for images and reference.

A nice companion to this would be Hawkins’ On Intelligence, complementary and also enlightening. This is top shelf.
