Beschreibung
Understanding the self has long been thought to be neuroscience's greatest challenge. We know who we are but then no matter how successful and healthy we are, sometimes we wonder, who am I really? And what does schizophrenia, autism, Alzheimer's or epilepsy tell us about the nature of the self? Anil Ananthaswamy offers us an unprecedented tour of the mind for the spiritual and scientific reader. For fans of Oliver Sacks.
