The Overpowering Brain: A Guide to the Most Indispensable Organ in Our Body

What makes us who we are? Where does thought begin? Mind and memory, love and hatred, logic and the ability to learn — the elements that make up our “self” are located in the most indispensable organ of our body: the brain. Get ready to embark on a fascinating journey through the brain and discover where personality is located, why it is important to be able to forget, in which part of the brain a compass is hidden, where false memories come from, where emotions are stored and whether it is possible to influence your mood, and even why we eat with our brain. “This book is written as if I were talking about the brain with my close friends, and I very much hope that you, like me, will be enchanted by its many mysteries. You will be surprised at how much this pinkish mass located between the ears does.” Kaja Nordengen. “Read this book! It is worth your time.” May-Britt Moser, professor, psychologist, neurophysiologist, Nobel Prize winner.
