An exploration of the mystery of consciousness and the functioning of the brain.
What The Reviewers Say
House is a pleasure to read. Like Oliver Sacks and like Robert Sapolsky, who advised him at Stanford, House distills the details of psychiatry and neurology into digestible forms.
Here, as elsewhere, the striking phrase tips over beyond sweeping generalization to land askew.
[House] uses extended anecdotes that put complex concepts into accessible terms even while acknowledging that there are no easy answers in the study of consciousness.
... quirky.
