The brain and how much of it we need? , by: Dr. Alexis Wiley, Dr. Jennifer Barnett

Your brain withers and shrinks so is this thing important? And what amount of brain do we really need? This book challenges us to think differently about the brain, so instead of focusing on the many wonderful things the human mind does, we wonder about the complexities and contradictions of this brain, and whether we can live a satisfactory life together when any part of it is lost? The bad news is that our brains actually start shrinking from the mid-thirties, but the good news here is that we still seem to be in a state of confusion about this information in general, and that our human brains are capable of adapting in extraordinary ways when things go wrong, and here both Dr. Alexis Willett and Dr. Jennifer Barnett shed light on what the human mind can do — in ideal and non-ideal conditions — and draw attention to what it can withstand without significantly affecting its functions, through some facts and precise numbers, case studies, some hypothetical scenarios, and through interviews and dialogues with several experts. The book takes us on a journey from the depths of ancient times to the far distant future, addressing various types of beings. Number of pages: 344
