The Wall Street Journal named this book one of five scientific must-reads. Scientists, teachers, researchers and readers describe it as revolutionary, upending ideas about the brain. In our culture, it is customary to treat the brain as the main organ that shapes our personality, is responsible for successes and failures, for everything we do and everything that happens to us. We equate the brain with a computer, considering it “the main thing” in our lives. Neurophysiologist and bioengineer Alan Jasanov offers a new perspective on the role of the brain and talks about what environmental factors and processes of the human body shape personality and make us who we are.
