The book is titled "Using the brain, knowing our minds to live better" by Facundo Manes. I
really enjoyed reading this book a lot, it deals with neuroscience topics. It focuses on
different mental phenomena in relation to the functioning of that "machine" called the
brain: language, intelligence, memory, creativity, emotions, love, happiness, social
behaviors, morality, violence, empathy, autism, depression. , among other.
It is a very interesting book, however, the information is very general and does not focus on
a specific topic.
Although it is a fairly simple book, it has its degree of complexity as it is full of little-
known terms.
It has a lot of exciting information. However, many books address the same type of
information by specifying each of the topics in a better way.
Although this type of book seems to be boring, the way the author approaches each of the
topics is quite entertaining.
If you do need to know in a very general way how the brain works, I definitely recommend
this book.
