Unthinkable An Extraordinary Journey Through the World's Strangest Brains

Imagine a world where your brain allows you to remember every single day of your life, or where you perceive music that no one else can hear. Consider the experience of genuinely believing you are a tiger, or feeling the physical pain of others simply by observing them. Helen Thomson embarks on a global journey to meet individuals living with some of the rarest and most extraordinary neurological conditions.

Through the compelling true stories of nine people whose brains function in unexpected ways, this book reveals the profound diversity of human experience and the intricate workings of our own minds. By exploring the boundaries of memory, perception, emotion, and self, Unthinkable offers a unique perspective on what it means to be human and how our brains shape our reality.
