Hello Voornaam,
Over the years, we have highlighted 100+ books about the brain in our newsletters. Some of these are on lofty topics—free will, consciousness, morality. Others home in on things that help our brains (like awe, art, or play) or things that don’t (like addiction, pain, or grief). Some are self-help books that encourage the reader improve their brain health through beneficial habits, while others are memoirs about a challenging brain health journey. That’s just the tip of the iceberg! For a full list, check out this section of our website.
Best regards,
