Book Reviews of Your Brain: The Missing Manual (Missing Manuals)

Book Review: A very enlightening book
Summary: 5 Stars

I heard of "Your Brain: The Missing Manual" from the technical podcast "The Java Posse". I wasn't disappointed.

This book gives the casual reader a detailed exposition of the brain, its parts and their functions. It mixes in quite a bit of fun facts about the brain functions, such as optical illusions, with practical ways for how to better use them, such as memory improvement tips.

This is a thin book, and can be read over a weekend.
