Are you familiar with the situation when you came to the kitchen, but forgot why? When do you remember that you wanted to call your mom, but the phone was left near the coffee machine? Or when it seems to you that you amazed everyone with your idea during a meeting, but a week ago you proposed exactly the same idea and no one decided to develop it. Your brain is responsible for all these paradoxes: it confuses you, tempts you to do stupid things, but it also helps you become better and develop. Dr. Dean Burnett, a neuroscience specialist, will help you understand his complex character. What sets him apart from other scientists is his wonderful sense of humor - he performs stand-up comedy and writes a popular science blog called Brain Flapping for The Guardian. In his book The Idiot Priceless Brain, he explains in extremely simple terms everything you've been wondering about but didn't know for sure until now.
