Unthinkable: What the World's Most Extraordinary Brains Can Teach Us About Our Own by Helen ThomsonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
REALLY fascinating look at neuroscience and how the brain works, especially when it works outside the realm of what most would consider "normal." There are stories of people who get lost in their own house, people who think they are dead, people who can feel your pain and emotions as if they are experiencing them, and so on. Absolutely amazing what the brain does, and as she points out throughout the book, these "outliers" serve to show what capabilities we have in our head should we could figure out how to tap them.
I'm considering buying this so I can write all over it.
