I really loved this book, the audiobook is incredible. 
I learned a lot, even as a med student, there are things that we don´t know or don´t even investigate that much. It was amazing, and it took a complex topic and made them understandable. I would recommend this book for everyone, it can be a bit overwhelming at times. But it's worth it. 
I not only learned so much about the brain and development, but I was able to translate that to my real life. I understand and empathize more with people around me, and about myself. I understand myself a little better now. 
I'll read this book again in the future because I don't think that I would get the most of it from reading it only once. 
I don't agree with everything that was written on the book, but I still loved it and would recommend it.
