The New Brain: How the Modern Age Is Rewiring Your Mind by Richard Restak

amyappy's review against another edition

3.0

For EDP 540, my Educational Psychology class. Nothing mind-blowing (no pun intended), but still pretty interesting. Restak does a great job of staying pretty readable for a general public, as long as you're not intimidated by the names of different parts of the brain. This book is around 10 years old, so this is hardly cutting-edge technology and research. I probably would have found it more interesting if I hadn't already learned a lot of these ideas in my EDP class... This is great if you're interested in Psychology (even casually) and the effects of our modern society on the brain.
