A Day In The Life
Of Your Brain
A completely accessible guide to the organ running the show
Follow your brain across one ordinary day, from the moment it starts preparing for waking, before you’re even conscious of it, to the strange theatre of a dream hours after you fall asleep. Each chapter is short enough to read over a coffee, built around one piece of your day and one central idea.
Your Day, Finally Explained
Surprising facts, myth-busting and practical nudges you can use the same day. No scientific background needed.
