Synopsis
Why do you lose discussions with people who know LESS than you?. Why you are able to recognize that woman he met that time ... but can not remember her name? Why, after your last sentimental breakup, spent several days in a row on the couch, curled up, and not moving more than your hand to wipe the snot and tears from your face in any way?.
Here is why: for the idiocy of our brain. For something supposedly so brilliantly and evolutionarily advanced, the human brain is rather disorderly, fallible, and disorganized. For example, do you know that your memory is selfish? Really. And that theories of conspiracy and superstition are the inevitable consequence of a healthy brain? And that alcohol can even boost our memory? *
In The Idiot Brain, the neuroscientist Dean Burnett guides us on this visit to the ins and outs of our mysterious and mischievous gray matter (and those of the white as well). Along the way, he explains the imperfections of the human brain in all its splendor and how they influence everything we say, do, and experience. Based on the studies of the great experts in the field and written in a very pleasant style, this book is suitable for anyone who has ever wondered why their brain seems intent on sabotaging their life and what the hell there will be in there.
* Editor's note: Please read the book before attempting to bring this theory into practice.
