Someone once said to me, “It must be nice to get up every day and see a circus in your back yard.” I told them, “the circus is in my mind.”

Book Description
They never tell ya if the “OTHER SHOE” is part of a pair of shoes. Everyone assumes that is the case. But we don’t know anything about the first shoe. Nobody ever talks about the first shoe. It’s always the OTHER SHOE and we don’t know anything about that one either for Chrise Sake.

Book Description
every WORD for ITSELF: It’s a jungle out there in the world. It’s survival of the fittest out there in this world. And that includes the words we use. Choose them wisely. Say or write what you mean. And mean what you say or write. I don’t.

Book Description
"Eagleman renders the secrets of the brain’s adaptability into a truly compelling page-turner.” —Khaled Hosseini, author of The Kite Runner “Livewired reads wonderfully like what a book would be if it were written by Oliver Sacks and William Gibson, sitting on Carl Sagan’s front lawn.” —The Wall Street Journal What does drug withdrawal have in common with a broken heart? Why is the enemy of memory not time but other memories? How can a blind person learn to see with her tongue, or a deaf person learn to hear with his skin? Why did many people in the 1980s mistakenly perceive book pages to be slightly red in color? Why is the world’s best archer armless? Might we someday control a robot with our thoughts, just as we do our fingers and toes? Why do we dream at night, and what does that have to do with the rotation of the Earth? The answers to these questions are right behind our eyes. The greatest technology we have ever discovered on our planet is the three-pound organ carried in the vault of the skull. This book is not simply about what the brain is; it is about what it does. The magic of the brain is not found in the parts it’s made of but in the way those parts unceasingly reweave themselves in an electric, living fabric. In Livewired, you will surf the leading edge of neuroscience atop the anecdotes and metaphors that have made David Eagleman one of the best scientific translators of our generation. Covering decades of research to the present day, Livewired also presents new discoveries from Eagleman’s own laboratory, from synesthesia to dreaming to wearable neurotech devices that revolutionize how we think about the senses.

Book Description
This is a compendium, a collection, a litany of hazardous literal waste of thoroughly unacceptable manifestations of words, images, ideas, that no relatively sane person would voluntarily expose themselves to. So, go for it, dive in, it’s more fun than mud wrestling.

Book Description
Is about the Easter egg hunt of the apocalypse, the over cooked hamburger on a stale hamburger bun, the disappointment of an acne breakout just before the senior prom, the green hornet in your omelet, the pecker tracks on brand new sheets, skid marks in your underwear, and he holy book of consistent inconsistencies. Amen. I think. But maybe not.
