Rethink everything you know about the brain

The brain controls nearly everything you do. Whether sleeping, running, breathing, thinking, talking, or feeling—your brain calls the shots. But how much do you really know about it? As a distinguished professor, psychologist, and neuroscientist, Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett wrote Seven and a Half Lessons About the Brain to make the top findings in neuroscience more accessible to everyday audiences. Consider this your crash course on her book and the hidden workings of the brain. In it, you'll explore mind-expanding answers to questions about human nature. For example: Why do we have a brain? How does it work? What separates the human brain from other species' brains? And what factors impact our brain development and activity?
