Learn all about the secrets and powers of your brain to put it to better use. Readily accessible, fascinating texts and 32 pages of comics. The most complex structure in the world deciphered for all readers.

The brain is the most powerful tool humans have! Neuroscience is important to our day-to-day lives because this organ lies at the root of our choices, emotions and our relationships—of our whole lives, in short.

This book aims to make complex, difficult-to-digest neuroscience research accessible to all. A better understand of how our brains function also helps us to avoid cognitive biases, which lead us to analyze reality through irrational lenses and make us think and do things without our knowledge.

Our Brains Day-to-Day

The opposite of a complex treatise, this book comprises about 30 short chapters. Each one is based on everyday questions: How does the brain fall in love? How does it manage a broken heart? What are the secrets behind creativity and intuition? Where does déjà vu come from, is it a kind of premonition or a brain glitch? Why does music affect our moods? Why are some people gifted at foreign languages while others aren’t? What are cognitive biases and how do they trick us?

A winning combination of popular science, fun and accuracy.

Information that’s easy to use in everyday life.
