In "Incognito," David Eagleman delves into the enigmatic depths of the human brain, challenging the very essence of what we perceive as self. With a narrative as engaging as it is enlightening, Eagleman guides us through the hidden realms of our consciousness, where the majority of our brain's work is conducted away from the light of our awareness. This journey is not just about exploring the unseen forces that drive our thoughts, behaviors, and decisions; it's an invitation to rethink our understanding of free will, responsibility, and the nature of human identity. Through a blend of captivating storytelling and cutting-edge science, "Incognito" reveals how our mental processes, from the decisions we make to the emotions we feel, are largely governed by brain mechanisms that operate outside our conscious control. Eagleman, with his expertise in neuroscience and a natural flair for writing, makes complex concepts accessible and utterly fascinating, ensuring that readers will never look at themselves—or the world around them—in the same way again. This book is a compelling voyage into the inner workings of our minds, illuminating the mysterious backstage operations of the brain and questioning the very notion of the self.
