Book Recommendation

I’d like to recommend a book to those of you who are interested in the discussion that came up in class about the distinction between the mind, body, and soul. Paul Broks writes about his clinical work in "Into the Silent Land: Travels in Neuropsychology." This book contains a lot of interesting scientific and psychological information, which is presented in entertaining prose (à la Oliver Sacks). It circles around to bigger questions about the mind and soul. This book was truly an inspiration that lead me to pursue neuropsychology – I highly recommend it.

Here is a link to a review of the book:
