There have been a spate of books in the fields of cognitive science and behavioral economics lately, all expressing (or trying to) in layman's terms how it is that our brains work. There's Predictably Irrational by Dan Ariely, The Female Brain and The Male Brain by Louann Brizendine, Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman, The Brain that Changes Itself by Norman Doidge, Musicophilia by Oliver Sachs, and those are just the ones that come quickly to mind. Like I said, a spate.
Since everyone is on the bandwagon and I do think this subject is interesting, I figured I might as well start somewhere. So here I go with Jonah Lehrer.
