About this listen
This is the story of how your life shapes your brain and how your brain shapes your life. Locked in the silence and darkness of your skull, the brain fashions the rich narratives of your reality and your identity.
Join renowned neuroscientist David Eagleman for a journey into the questions at the heart of our existence. What is reality? Who are 'you'? How do you make decisions? Why does your brain need other people? How is technology poised to change what it means to be human?
In the course of his investigations, Eagleman guides us through the world of extreme sports, criminal justice, facial expressions, genocide, brain surgery, gut feelings, robotics, and the search for immortality.
Strap in for a whistle-stop tour into the inner cosmos. In the infinitely dense tangle of billions of brain cells and their trillions of connections, something emerges that you might not have expected to see in there: you.

Amazing book
This book is an amazing and simple explanation of our brain. The author has done a great job of explaining the complexities of brain in simple ways. He has touched many topics like brain development, decision making etc and also talked about what could be a scientific future to create a human brain and how do we create "me". Loved the book!

A light and interesting summary of brain
The author has kept the narration crisp and to the point. II liked the way he has kept a section below 5 mins mostly.
It's a light and not heavy on technical content.
Easy to understand

My brain... incredible
The book is absolutely amazing.Story as well as the narration is fantastic. Ever wondered how Yogis could bring things to life by simply wishing. Well it could be the reality for all of us. What an incredible thing our brain is and what sort of miracles it could accomplish. Listen to this book and once you’ve finished do listen to the next book by the same author “ live wire”.It will make you wonder whether facts are stranger than fiction.

Amazingly captivating!
Loved how all the thought experiments were beautifully stitched together.Must read for anyone amused by the things our brain can achieve with mere electrical impulses and splish splash of chemicals and hormones!

Wonderful
Loved the narration. Don't need to be neuroscientist to understand the core ideas. Basic common sense would do.

Very refreshing journey into the mind
I will recommend this book to anyone who wishes to undergo a nuanced journey into the working of the human brain.
If you have read such books before...like I had...then try to read the last chapter of the book...which is no doubt mind blowing.
I have read such books before therefore...had an moderate knack but the last chapter really was awesome.
overall narration makes or breaks the contents of the book. the writer / narrator has done a great job.
I just hope Derek Perkins could have read it. he would have made it phenomenal.

Complicated subject made simpler
Loved the way author narrates the entire chapters of human brain neural networks. Every chapter creates curiosity into the listener to explore and unwire human brain functionality.. Truly amazing...
