Incognito

This one has been living unread in my bookshelf for too long, so i thought i'd power through it. Which was rather easy as most of what it talks about i've read elsewhere before. The major part of the book establishes the always astonishing facts (that ‘you' are no in control, and that there is a team of rivals inside your brain). The last two chapters then depart from this, and Eagleman talks about what we are now meant to do with that information. How to move the legal system from rating blameworthiness to rating modifyability, how to look at nature and nurture as never being independent, and how the scientific belief in reductionism has its limits. He ends stressing that science's stance of today - that the final discoveries about consciousness and mysteries of the mind are just around the corner - is an illusion.
