I am not a maths person at all and found some of the analogies hard to grasp because of that.

As a biologist, I really enjoyed the way the author used scientific and mathematical concepts to explain various aspects of life and human interaction. Life is indeed very difficult to navigate, and this guide made it a little more pleasant.

'Across the still surfaces of our lives, new people and circumstances are constantly casting their pebbles. Some will sink painfully, others without us even noticing, but, as even the amateur stone skipper can occasionally get their pebble to bounce, every once in a while something hits us at just the right angle. We meet a person who will change our lives for the better, have an idea that allows us to see the world in a different way, or read something that alters our perspective. The stone of a new encounter skips, spreading it's ripples throughout our consciousness.'
Explaining Humans is Dr Camilla Pang's users guide for humans. Through scientific explanation, analogy and her own experience of feeling like a neurodiverse 'outsider', Pang explores why we struggle and how we might reconnect with the people and the world around us.
As a 'high-amplitude' person, I often find human behaviour (my own just us much so as others) to be inexplicable, disruptive or just bloody confusing. I confess that I wasn't able to follow all the science, so it was the candid personal accounts Pang shared which shone through to help me understand.
I laughed. I got frustrated. I cried. I laughed again.
I won't claim to understand all the nuanced human behaviours that are explained, or how to apply most of the relatively idiosyncratic techniques Millie has developed, but I definitely feel like this book has given me another perspective to help understand myself a little better.
This author is an exceptional scientist, a fantastic writer and, honestly, just an incredibly inspirational person.
