With irresistibly persuasive vigor, David Shenk debunks the long-standing notion of genetic “giftedness,” and presents dazzling new scientific research showing how greatness is in the reach of every individual.

Post by: cakestripe on September 01, 2010, 07:40:57 am: I got "Your Brain on Music" by Daniel J Levitin. It was recommended by a friend last week when I made everyone in the car be quiet for ten seconds during a solo in a song. This part of the song has a guitar and a violin playing the exact same notes at the exact same time, and I looooove it! This book is so perfect for me!

Post by: jkhanson on September 01, 2010, 08:04:41 am: I just finished reading My Stroke of Insight.

It was a great book for helping me to understand the people what happens during and after a stroke or brain injury.
I work with TBI patients - traumatic brain injury - so the book was enlightening.
