"Mind Wide Open"
opens gateways into the brain. Johnson’s work simultaneously opens a doorway into the realm of brain science and stimulates the readers to delve into their own consciousness. Johnson does nothing repeated demonstrates that brains are complicated mechanisms, but as a writer he has a gift for breaking down and explaining even the most fluid and complex processes of the brain. It is deeply satisfying to put down the book and feel that you could discuss the concept of consciousness with a brain scientist.
"Mind Wide Open: Your Brain and the Neuroscience of Everyday Life." Is a personal story about Johnson’s quest to understand what takes place between his ears. His mission: Helping us to understand how our brain chemistry shapes our daily behaviors and mental ups and downs.
What makes "Mind Wide Open" so enjoyable is that beneath all of the science it truly is a story; A story of discovery. The main character- Johnson’s brain, and the brains of his family and friends.
Johnson conveys his story by relating amusing but relevant stories of self-experimentation and personal experience. As the book wears on Johnson demonstrates that even the most complex of human behaviors can be attributed to anatomy and chemistry.
"Mind Wide Open" offers a tour of a brain that you will never quite look at in the same way after reading the book. Despite his neuroscience background, Johnson clearly illustrates the theory behind how our brains work.
Not only does Johnson succeed in giving us tools to better understand ourselves, but he also truly inspires the readers to “open their minds.”
