Brain Meets World

THROUGH PROSE, POETRY, HISTORICAL ARCHIVES, AND ART, Brain Meets World
takes readers on a hero’s journey of ideas. Across seven chapters (161
pages), articles authored by leading behavioral scientists and science
writers provide glimpses into the electric, surprising, painful, and peculiar
paths that our ideas take—and take us on.
The backdrop for the journey is the world of behavioral science, which
offers a one-of-a-kind stage to explore the odysseys of our mind. Here, the
author, setting, and main character of our ideas is the same—ourselves.
Brain Meets World contains insights and ideas about human behavior that
are meant to provoke discussion and push the boundaries of behavioral
science. It also brings to light the stories of those who’ve spent their lives
trying to figure out who we are and who we can become.
Brain Meets World is accessible for those at both advanced and beginning
knowledge levels.
