Author of the 2001 New York Times Notable Book "The Connected Lives of Ants, Brains, Cities and Software" Steven Johnson presents Mind Wide Open, an audiobook that explores today's cutting edge brain research. Describing the latest discoveries in layman's terms, Johnson explains how the human brain works, and uses himself as a test subject to answer the nuances of the ancient question: who am I? From the neurochemistry behind love and sex, to the immense amount of chemicals closely akin to recreational drugs within the brain, to the real source of breakthrough ideas and more, Mind Wide Open reveals how human consciousness works in fine detail. Skillfully read aloud by award-winning narrator Alan Sklar, Mind Wide Open is very highly recommended for personal and community audio libraries. 7 CDs, 8 hours unabridged.
