A great beginner's guide
This book has changed my life. I was 29 (3 years ago) when I bought it hoping to reduce my sodium intake in an effort to lower my blood pressure. Exercise was not working and my doc wanted to put me on medication. After a year of hard work, I went from 140/95 to 120/75 and I owe most of it to the philosophy of this book. I don't necassarily agree with many other reviews that this is the "end ...

The Ethical Brain

20 reviews
Michael S. Gazzaniga

Dana Press, 2005

Thinking without thinking
"The Ethical Brain" is a well written and easly understood book, but somewhat academic in nature. It covers both the known areas of brain function and discusses much of the unkown process of the brain. Excellent reading. However, the book "Blink" by Malcolm Gladwell should be read after reading "The Ethical Brain". These two books complement each other.

Donald A. Gazzaniga, Maureen A. Gazzaniga

St. Martin's Griffin, 2006

Salt is the Cause; Not the Solution
There's an old Texan story about a Texican who goes into a general store that is having a closing sale. He sees that a whole wall of the store is stacked with nothing but buffalo pucky and salt: bags of buffalo pucky and bags of salt, blocks of buffalo pucky and blocks of salt, shakers of buffalo pucky and shakers of salt. Just buffalo pucky and salt from floor to ceiling (everything's big in ...

Mind Matters: How Mind and Brain Interact to Create Our Conscious Lives

1 review
Michael S. Gazzaniga

Houghton Mifflin (P), 1989

Not the best book on this topic but still good
Maybe the most important thing to note about this book is that it was written in 1988, and research on mind and brain have expanded a lot since then. Which isn't to say the material here is wrong, just that it doesn't include the very latest advances. Still, ya gotta start somewhere, and this book isn't a bad one to read along the way. Gazzaniga tells stories illustrating how fiddling with ...

The Social Brain: Discovering the Networks of the Mind

Michael S. Gazzaniga

Basic Books, 1985

The real story behind left brain / right brain psychology.
Gazzaniga conducted some of the first research on split-brain phenomenon, from which popular culture got the whole left brain - right brain thing. If you are interested in that and think you know what it's all about, take the time to read this short explanation of how the research was conducted and what the author himself makes of it. It's really worthwhile. There are a great many ...

Nature's Mind: Biological Roots Of Thinking, Emotions, Sexuality, Language, And Intelligence

1 review
Michael Gazzaniga

Basic Books, 1994

clinical psychologist
Gazzaniga presents a fine example of two behavioral principles: 1. The Peter principle. Gazzaniga over-extends way beyond his range of expertise, using a narrow and outmoded cognitive focus to try to explain just about all of the mind and human psychological functioning. 2. "Once you're well-known you can get anything published." The book is padded and says very little -- just about nothing ...

Undaunted, he discovered a way to continue enjoying the meals he loved and still keep his sodium level far below what most cardiologists feel they can expect from their patients. The idea has led to three published books found on the kitchen shelves of thousands of grateful ...

Conversations in the Cognitive Neurosciences

1 review

The MIT Press, 1996

"Neuro-what????"
In 1989, the PBS series NOVA had an hour-long conversation with the late physicist Richard Feynman, in which he extolled on his passion for the scientific enterprise. The interview was animated, enlightening, and entertaining. (Clips from this interview circulate the Internet.) I was hoping that this book would present similarly animated and passionate discussions. However, Gazzaniga ...
