From the publisher

From the creative brain behind WE HAVE NO IDEA, an introductory journey into your own mind–if your inner voice had a PhD in neuroscience, cracked jokes, and drew cartoons Why do you love? Why do you hate? What makes you happy? Every single thought you have comes from one place: your brain. But what makes it tick? How much of it have we decoded, and how much of it remains an impenetrable mystery? Join bestselling author and online cartoonist Jorge Cham and neuroscientist Dwayne Godwin on a deep dive into the fascinating world of the human brain, in which they will explore questions such as: What is consciousness? Do we have free will? And what happens when we die? All while illuminating everything we know (and don’t know) about one of the most complex objects in the known universe. Think of it as conversation ammunition for your next cocktail party, or a quick, fascinating read while you’re in the bathroom (don’t worry, the chapters aren’t that long). Centered on questions we all ask ourselves at some point but don’t usually have answers to, Out of Your Mind is an illustrated book about the brain that isn’t too “brainy.” Playful, accessible, and deeply insightful, it’s the one brain book that’s truly suitable for all brains.
