A book about the wonders of the brain

L lieseMember
Title: Incognito
Author: David Eagleman

I just started reading this book but it has already given me plenty to think about. The author likens consciousness to the newspaper: that there is so much going on in the brain, way too much for us to be aware of, that we only need to know the headlines. We couldn't handle any more than the headlines anyway. Consciousness developed last. Everything else was already in place and functioning before consciousness developed.

Hey, I'm reading the same book right now. I am enjoying it quite a bit. It makes me feel so adult to say that I am reading a book about the brain, but it is written in everyday language and not difficult to follow at all.

The little stories and examples are very interesting and they sort of stick with you. I find myself thinking about some of the contents as I go about my day.

Yes, I've learned about all the benefits of being a Patron Member (Click here if you missed seeing them: Community Psychotherapy Help

Yes, I understand that...

1. I can do a 7 day free trial and my credit card will not be charged until that period is up.

2. I can cancel at any time before then and my card will not be charged.

3. That once my credit card is charged, there is no refund offered.

Have a special coupon?

4. If I'm using a coupon my receipt won't show the discounted amount (It'll show $7.95). However, I understand that it will go through as $2.95 when I am billed after the 7 day trial. (According to the current promotion, this discount applies to the first three months of my membership - and as long as I use the coupon in the checkout.)*

*Please note that after the 3 months, billing will revert to the regular monthly fee.
**The fee posted below is our standard billing fee (ie. using no coupon).

7-Day Free Trial, then $7.95 per Month (plus tax if applicable)
