The Idiot Brain: A Neuroscientist Explains What Your Head Is Really Up To | 
Wow🤩
so-soAn overview of what we know about the brain and how it works.
Full of interesting tidbits and the author has a way with humorous metaphors and similes but somehow for me, it failed to really cohere. A diagram of the brain might have helped.
At this point I feel the book should be called The Idiot's Brain instead
Caturday mornings are my absolute favorite. #lennox #catsoflitsy
While I should have been on a trip to visit my brother in Seattle right now, I can‘t really complain about my current situation. 😻 Hope all you Littens are happy, healthy and inside (if you‘re able). #huey #catsoflitsy
The perfect way to kick off a #Caturday; coffee, book and cats. This book has been both informative and entertaining so far. I‘ve laughed out loud several times which I did not expect to do, though maybe the title should have warned me this had a comical side to it. #catsoflitsy #lennox
#classprep while our newest family member #Hester snoozes and the resident old man #Sancho stares me down for bringing this new, energetic creature into his life.

Ah sunshine, summertime, and neuroscience 🤓
My reading buddy #Sancho isn‘t feeling 100% today. Old age catches up with all of us, I guess ☹️

pickFunny and interesting at the same time.
All the other books that I've got on the go at the moment were in other rooms so while I had 10 minutes spare I grabbed the nearest book to me. Great start. Really looking forward to the rest of this. Science for us non-science types. Huzzah!
pickExtremely informative, totally hilarious, and probably one of my fav impulse buys. It's easy to read and hard to put down. I think I understand myself much better now, but then again, that could be a delusion...
#bookriot challenge day 19 is great dedications. I already posted this on #litsy but it's still such a great dedication (and book!) #riotgrams
This feels so appropriate right about now.
pickA great overview of all the weird and wacky things the brain does, as well as misconceptions debunked. The dissection of the brain-as-computer analogy (re memory) is especially good.
This book begins the same way as nearly all my social interactions: with a series of detailed and thorough apologies.
[...]
My final apology is based on the fact that a former colleague of mine once told me that I'd get a book published "when hell freezes over." Sorry to Satan. This must be very inconvenient for you.
How did I end up with THREE yellow books about the brain? Weird.
pickHighly recommend this book. It's such an interesting read combining humor and science. He uses technical terms without it being overwhelming or making it difficult to understand. And it shed some light on a lot of things. Especially helpful for anyone who works in customer service.
Loving the comparisons in this book. It actually makes it more understandable and funny. 😂
