Books like Livewired by David Eagleman

Explores the groundbreaking science of neuroplasticity, showing how the brain can recover from injury, learn new skills, and even rewire itself to overcome long‑standing mental limits.

Oliver Sacks weaves intimate case studies and personal anecdotes to explore how the brain perceives, interprets, and adapts to the world of sight, revealing the astonishing resilience of human cognition.

Thomas Metzinger argues that the conscious self is not an independent entity but a model generated by the brain, exploring the implications for free will, morality, and our understanding of consciousness.

Steven Pinker’s acclaimed book offers an erudite exploration of the human mind, tracing its computational and evolutionary roots while examining how we see, think, feel, interact, and pursue art, religion, and philosophy.

David Eagleman explores how the brain, a three‑pound organ hidden within the skull, crafts our sensory world, sense of self, and reality, acting as both cityscape and storyteller that guides our decisions and judgments.

"The New York Times bestselling author of The Brain That Changes Itself presents astounding advances in the treatment of brain injury and illness. In The Brain That Changes Itself, Norman Doidge described the most important breakthrough in our understanding of the brain in four hundred years: the discovery that the brain can change its own structure and function in response to mental experience-what we call neuroplasticity. His revolutionary new book shows, for the first time, how the amazing process of neuroplastic healing really works. It describes natural, non-invasive avenues into the brain provided by the forms of energy around us-light, sound, vibration, movement-which pass through our senses and our bodies to awaken the brain's own healing capacities without producing unpleasant side effects. Doidge explores cases where patients alleviated years of chronic pain or recovered from debilitating strokes or accidents; children on the autistic spectrum or with learning disorders normalizing; symptoms of multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and cerebral palsy radically improved, and other near-miracle recoveries. And we learn how to vastly reduce the risk of dementia with simple approaches anyone can use. For centuries it was believed that the brain's complexity prevented recovery from damage or disease. The Brain's Way of Healing shows that this very sophistication is the source of a unique kind of healing. As he did so lucidly in The Brain That Changes Itself, Doidge uses stories to present cutting-edge science with practical real-world applications, and principles that everyone can apply to improve their brain's performance and health"-- "Norman Doidge's revolutionary new book shows, for the first time, how the amazing process of neuroplastic healing really works.

David Eagleman explores how the brain creates reality, identity, and decision‑making while examining the impact of technology, extreme sports, criminal justice, facial expressions, gut feelings, robotics, and the quest for immortality.

Learn how to use neuroplasticity techniques to reshape and strengthen your brain, improving mood, memory, sleep, and relationships.

Unlock your mind and brain with groundbreaking science and ancient wisdom in this transformative book by Sharon Begley.

Sebastian Seung, a dynamic young professor at MIT, is at the forefront of a revolution in neuroscience. He believes that our identity lies not in our genes, but in the connections between our brain cells - our own particular wiring.
