THE IDIOT BRAIN
'Compelling and wise and rational.' - Jon Ronson
Motion sickness.
Nightmares.
Forgetting people's names.
Why did I walk into this room??
For something supposedly so brilliant and evolutionarily advanced, the human brain is pretty messy, fallible and disorganised. In The Idiot Brain neuroscientist Dean Burnett celebrates the imperfections of the human brain in all their glory, and the impact of these quirks on our daily lives. Expertly researched and entertainingly written, this book is for anyone who has wondered why their brain seems to be sabotaging their life, and what on earth it is really up to.

But you've probably found yourself here via the publicity surrounding Dean's new book, Emotional Ignorance - Lost and Found in the Science of Emotion. This is Dean's fifth book, and his most deeply personal and profound one to date. Written during lockdown in the midst of intense grief and isolation following the tragic loss of his father to COVID-19, it covers Dean's effort to pin down and understand the powerful yet baffling emotions that we all experience every day of our lives. This took him from the dawn of time to the end of the universe, to the boundaries between fantasy and reality, to many different cultures, communities, and professions. And he made many incredible and surprising discoveries about how our brains work and how influential our emotions are. Want to know more? Then you could do much worse than getting Emotional Ignorance, the new book by Dr Dean Burnett. Check out the relevant links for associated publicity and live appearances.
