Review: Lively book. - Excellent book. Gives good idea adopt plasticity of brain. With excellent examples the book makes the intricacies of brain function understandable. Review: Lively - I've read a few books on neuroscience and this would rate as the most lucid and engaging book. As an engineer I am intrigued by his suggestion to use "livewiring" as an approach to design of machines. This requires a dramatic change in the way we engineers think and need to rewire our brains to wrap around such ideas. I really liked the homonculus cartoon image showing large hands feet and stunted legs and arms :-) I am now moving on to his Incognito and hope to have a similar experience of reading.

Well written and this book really changed my perspective towards the brain function and neurology. My favourite line will be ‘geniuses are made not born’ .😬✌🏻

Thought-provoking read!
If you’re interested in reading in depth about the brain, this one is definitely for you. David Eagleman has done a great job in explaining how extraordinary our brain truly is. The brain is a highly active and malleable learning machine. Knowing that, we can develop strategies to improve well-being, like engaging in activities that are new and challenging. A very insightful read that will make the reader think about all the new possibilities that lies ahead in the future as we learn more & more about our brain and how we experience the various sensations around us.
