Super interesting story of the author's search to figure out what caused her body to uncontrollably shake while she was giving a speech. Lots of cool medical history since it touches briefly on several different types of neurological disorders that she rules out (including temporal lobe epilepsy, which I have). It always makes me stoked to learn more about these sorts of things! One of the best parts of the book is its work cited list, I got a lot of ideas for books to read from it.

This was a very interesting read and Hustvedt has a way of making neuroscience and psychiatry understandable for someone who knows not a lot of things about these topics. I really enjoyed how she wrote about Freud as a scientist and was constantly debunking the myth of the sex-and-mother-obsessed couch psychoanalyst everyone has.
This book was recommended to me and I am very very grateful for that. Can't wait to read more of Hustvedt's work.
