‘A fascinating read and a groundbreaking work on the human
condition. Birbaumer shares his insatiable curiosity and gives us a
tour of the human brain, the many cases he’s worked on, and the
therapies he’s pioneered — some of which are truly radical!’
*David Roland, author How I Rescued My Brain*
‘The ideas here may be controversial but are also exciting … Though
far from definitive, this book is daring and unconventional.’
