We are taking a glimpse into another epic book💃. With seven key ideas, Lisa Feldman takes us on an exploration of the human brain that debunks numerous misconceptions along the way. It explains what brains are actually for, how they develop, what makes them unique, and why they're often one step ahead of everything you do.
