Welcome to Litsy!

This journey into the brain will challenge your intuitions about rationality, emotion and decision making. Damásio is a brilliant Portuguese neurologist, and through his medical practice, he's had the opportunity to study some truly remarkable cases. From these, he extrapolates hypothesis to explain how a 'normal' brain works. This book has a few dense, confusing bits, but if you make it through, you'll never see the mind-body dilemma the same.
