Reviews of The Wayward Mind (Little Brown 2005)
 |
"Guy Claxton's quest for the origins of the unconscious mind combines page-turning narrative with cutting-edge neuroscience. The book marks an important contribution to our understanding of what it is to be human" "An interesting journey .. lit brilliantly by sparkling insights" "With wit, weird tales and wonderful metaphors, Claxton illuminates the long dark history of the undermind" "Neuroscience is showing us how to break out of the 'locked up self' of the past" "Claxton's book stands out from the crowd .. a work of terrific breadth .. unfalteringly elegant" "A lively tour through stories of the unconscious" "It is hard not to feel enticed by a book with such engaging opening words" |
