Unsettled

I just finished reading Incognito : the secret lives of the brain by David Eagleman.  I made the mistake of reading some of the reviews on Goodreads before finishing it. It bugged me that some of the  reviews labeled it as pop science, which seems dismissive of David Eagleman's  career and education.  I had encountered some of the contents before (Phineas Gage, synesthesia, subconscious/conscious mind) but what made this book so great was that he was able to convey his ideas so well that they were easily understandable.
