Description
"[The author] has spent years travelling the world, tracking down incredibly rare brain disorders. In [this book] she tells the stories of nine extraordinary people she encountered along the way. From the man who thinks he's a tiger to the doctor who feels the pain of others just by looking at them to a woman who hears music thats not there, their experiences illustrate how the brain can shape our lives in unexpected and, in some cases, brilliant and alarming ways"--Amazon.com.
