In this nationally bestselling, compulsively readable account of what makes brain science a vital component of people's quest to know themselves, acclaimed science writer Steven Johnson subjects his own brain to a battery of tests to find out what's really going on inside. He asks: UL LIHow do we "read" other people? LI LIWhat is the neurochemistry behind love and sex? LI LIWhat does it mean that the brain is teeming with powerful chemicals closely related to recreational drugs? LI LIWhy does music move us to tears? LI LIWhere do breakthrough ideas come from?/ULJohnson answers these and many more questions arising from the events of our everyday lives. You do not have to be a neuroscientist to wonder, for example, why do you smile? And why do you sometimes smile inappropriately, even if you don't want to? How do others read your inappropriate smile? How does such interplay occur neurochemically, and what, if anything, can you do about it?Fascinating and rewarding, "Mind Wide Open" speaks to brain buffs, self-obsessed neurotics, barstool psychologists, mystified parents, grumpy spouses, exasperated managers, and anyone who enjoys speculating and gossiping about the motivations and behaviors of other human beings. Steven Johnson shows us the transformative power of understanding brain science and offers new modes of introspection and tools for better parenting, better relationships, and better living.

这类书看多了也就这样了……两个点比较有印象，一个是人们会认为女性在特定时期的反常行为是由荷尔蒙驱使，却无法意识到一个成功男性所展现出来的魅力也同样是受荷尔蒙驱使；另一个是你的大脑本身就充满了“毒品”，或者说就是个药匣子而已。
