This book is admired by Neil Gaiman and Stephen Fry. So, once upon a time, a monk, a neuroscientist and a comedian met... This is not a joke, but a cool book about thinking, body, sex, evolution, feelings and much more. A Buddhist monk (the same one who taught mindfulness to Benedict Cumberbatch) will explain to you how consciousness works, and will give you amazing practices for self-knowledge and achieving happiness. A neurophysiologist will help you look at all this from a scientific point of view, a comedian - she is also a famous American writer - wrote down all these arguments and turned them into a light and humorous book about how we managed to become what we are! You will find out why it is vital for people to have compassion, where thoughts come from and why they are so vile, how we get hooked on bad habits, and what connection exists between the body and the brain. This is truly one of the most exciting books about the brain and thinking, and definitely the funniest. Happy reading!
