Synopsis: From the creator of WE HAVE NO IDEA, an introductory journey into your own mind—if your inner voice had a Ph.D. in brain science, cracked jokes, and drew cartoons.Why do you love? Why do you lie? What makes you happy? Every single thought you have comes from one place: your brain. But what makes it tick? How much of it have we decoded, and how much of it remains an impenetrable mystery? Join best-selling author and online cartoonist Jorge Cham and neuroscientist Dwayne Godwin on a deep dive into the fascinating world of the human brain, in which they will explore questions such as: What is consciousness? Where is you in the brain? And do we have free will? All while illuminating everything we know (and DON&’T know) about one of the most complex objects in the known universe. Think of it as conversation-ammunition for your next cocktail party, or a quick fascinating read while you&’re in the bathroom (don&’t worry, the chapters aren&’t that long). Centered around questions we all ask ourselves at some point but don&’t usually have answers to, Out of Your Mind is an illustrated book about the brain that isn&’t too brainy. Playful, accessible, and deeply insightful, it&’s the one brain book that&’s truly accessible and suitable for all brains.
