Honorable mention to "When the Saints Go Marching In" by Anthony Bidulka
pickArguments from evolutionary biology and quantum physics that we do not perceive reality anything like as it is.
I managed to keep my head above water till we got to the use of game theory and statistics to show that evolution drives us towards useful perceptions rather than accurate ones and in fact eliminates accurate perception. At that point, I just had to take the author's word for it. ⬇
In February of 1962, Joseph Bogen and Philip Vogel sliced in half the brain of Bill Jenkins—intentionally, methodically, and with careful premeditation.

pickShort and concise book on mind and consciousness.
I liked the emphasis on homeostasis, the definition of mind and mental images, and the distinction between mind and consciousness.
pickWith the latest in scientific research, Dan Siegel illustrates how we can best connect and nurture our relationship with our teens by understanding It‘s not “raging hormones” so much as it is the profound changes that take place in the brain during this period in their lives.
Released during George W Bush‘s second term it is just as relevant today, providing insight and understanding to the road paved for where Trump now stands. The lessons regarding framing issues and how to change course are strong and worthy, but somehow have been missed by the mainstream left. It‘s a good read, I recommend highly, but damn it‘s sad reading this now, little of this implemented in the decades since. Dems, read it!
Picking a title from my big TBR pile. Looks interesting. I enjoy music even though I may be tone deaf!
