This is a great book. Readable, and ties together philosophy or spiritual beliefs, and neuroscience.


I agree. I also really enjoyed “Uncle Tungsten,” an autobiography of Sacks’ youth and his early introduction to science.


Uncle Tungsten is a fantastic book about youthful discovery, science and self.

Dr. Oliver Sacks is a fantastic writer with a bit of his own adversities.


"Awakenings is a 1990 American drama film directed by Penny Marshall. It is written by Steven Zaillian, who based his screenplay on Oliver Sacks's 1973 memoir Awakenings." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Awakenings
