A review by npientka
Proust Was a Neuroscientist by Jonah Lehrer
5.0
I have a degree English and Psychology with a concentration in Creative Writing... This book exceeded my high expectations and I absolutely think it's worth reading for anyone who sees the value in how art and science intersect! It's amazing how Neuroscience was denied for so long and how far it's come in the relatively short time it has existed. There's so much about the brain and human nature to discover -- so why not look at what has been created by said organ?
You don't have to have read any of the writers or seen any of the artists or heard any of the music to understand this book (though it's recommended). Even so, I ended up skipping a few pages so it didn't spoil Ian McEwan's Saturday for me since it's on my reading list!
