The Tell-Tale Brain: A Neuroscientist's Quest for What Makes Us Human by V.S. Ramachandran

4.0

This book is a fascinating look at how the brain, unique to humans in its quest for understanding itself, can try to grow and learn about humanity, about how the brain itself works, how disorders are both heartbreaking and intriguing simultaneously, and how this brain researcher has set out to find answers. He is also a funny author, who throws in a few curve balls that sometimes make you laugh and sometimes make you roll your eyes and groan. I appreciate the "humanness" of his writing. This book was definitely an interesting read!
