Neuroscience interests me, but I seem to have a blind spot for it. Case in point: I read Jonah Lehrer's How We Decide last year and enjoyed it thoroughly, yet ask me now and I'll be hard pressed to recall anything about it. But that hasn't kept me from adding material on the topic to my reading list. One such book I decided to have a go at was John Medina's Brain Rules. Actually, what prompted me to seek out the book was the following excellent presentation by Garr Reynolds:

I'm glad I read it (I'm even happier I chanced upon the presentation). In fact, Brain Rules also helps explain why I'm not exactly attuned to neuroscience: every brain is wired differently (Brain Rule #3).
So a year from now, just take my word for it that I found John Medina's book worthwhile and surprisingly light for the topic. I probably won't be able to tell you why -- but you can be assured I mean it.
