Seven and a Half Lessons about the Brain

Book • 2020
In this book, Lisa Feldman Barrett demystifies the brain through seven short essays and a brief story on its evolution.

She explains where brains came from, their structure, and how they function in tandem with other brains.

The book dispels myths such as the 'lizard brain' and the battle between thoughts and emotions or nature and nurture.

Barrett highlights the brain's primary role in controlling the body, discusses brain development, and emphasizes the social and cultural aspects of cognition and consciousness.
