This is a great book. Readable, and ties together philosophy or spiritual beliefs, and neuroscience.

I agree. I also really enjoyed “Uncle Tungsten,” an autobiography of Sacks’ youth and his early introduction to science.

Uncle Tungsten is a fantastic book about youthful discovery, science and self.

Dr. Oliver Sacks is a fantastic writer with a bit of his own adversities.
