Welcome to Litsy!

Less annoying than Livewire, but still not great. Also felt dated because it was published in 2011.

Although this pop neuroscience book is fast-paced and entertaining, it's too reductive and generalizing. I had to side-eye Eagleman's statement that all men are sexually attracted to women with giant pupils. Many men aren't attracted to women at all, no matter how sexy AF her magnificently enormous pupils are. And I reject his statement that free will does not exist.

Morning read

2. See tagged book
3. I don't know if any...

Deals with the weird stuff we're learning about our brains, including our apparent lack of free will. I particularly appreciated the discussion of how this could/should shape the criminal justice system.

An eye-opening look at how our brain works behind the scenes as we go about our day. Eagleman reveals certain habits, thoughts, and actions the subconscious brain influences without our knowing.

Loving all the #blackandwhitecovers today. They look great. #maybookflowers @RealLifeReading
